Expert Answer: Processing times for an EAD vary depending on the category and service center handling the case. While 35 days is still within the normal timeframe, USCIS generally advises waiting at least 60-90 days before making an inquiry. However, if you have not received a receipt notice, you can contact USCIS at 1-800-375-5283 to verify that your application was received. You can also check the USCIS processing times at https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/ to see if your case is outside normal processing times before making a service request.
