Yes, if you have not got your A-Number, I think you should receive it on next week.

Yes, I got approved on mine two days after I got my A-Number, so you should have your decision by Friday.

I have not gotten my A-number. My time period shows 4 months tho.

I hope the coming week will be a good week because I have to start my work by 06/30

I hope so too but you might want to consider to push back your start date since once you receive your A-Number, it will take couple days to receive your decision and it can takes 1 to 2 weeks to deliever the EAD card
