EAD expedited through congressman
Just wanted to share my story with you.
Waiting on EAD card through marriage to a US citizen.
5/15/2017 Case was received
Biometric done (forgot when)
RFI (forgot when)
6/14/2017 RFE was received
I guess here my case was pushed back a month.. My lawyer said it is that USCIS at fault. We have prepared all the documents and the lawyer said that he sent all the documents needed. I was unlucky there.
I have been looking for a job and I found out that congressman helps.
So I went to Congressman's office in Castro Valley in CA.
Released my privacy form. Here, I suggest you go to the office in person. It is faster.
Try signing the form there if possible. They are busy and get back to you late.
8/2/2017 Received an offer letter with start date on 8/16/2017.
8/2/2017 Sent it to Mallory Delauro (takes care of my case).
8/3/2017 She sent it to USCIS
8/7/2017 Received an email from Mallory that my case is being routed for the expedite processing.
8/9/2017 Heard nothing from USCIS yet and my case hasn't even updated.
I am dying here.. I have to start working next Wednesday, 16th. but no words or updates from USCIS.
Called USCIS customer service and escalated the issue but they can't access to the request my congressman raised. I have no power over anything but wait.
IS there anyone who received their EAD card without any updates or status changes?

Work permit
Hi!
So I've read a lot of your stories and went through your timelines and also decided to add mine. It's already been 71 days since they received my paperwork (I got married to an US citizen) which included I-485, I-130, I-131 and I-765.
05/30/2017 - I-130, I-131, I-765 - case was received (71 days since last status change)
06/05/2017 - I-485 - fingerprinting fee was received (65 days since last status change)
06/10/2017 - got an appointment notice for my biometrics
06/27/2017 - had my biometrics done
Since then the only thing that has changed in my case is "our national benefits center location is working on your case". All of my cases are in MSC.
Is there anyone else who also submitted their paperwork at the end of May? I've read that I could also submit a case inquiry, does that help? I know it's been "only" 71 days, but I was kind of hoping that I'll get my work permit by the end of September (at the maximum).
Thanks for all your help or your advice and good luck to all of you!!

EAD
I am desperate so I decided to share my timeline to see if anyone has a similar case:
This is based on marriage and the case is in MSC:
May 2: case received
June 2: biometrics
July 20: issued first service request
July 20: issued congressional inquiry (no response yet)
July 26: issued expedited request #1 on the phone (based on financial loss, about to lose job offer)
August 3: expedited request #2 was received by MSC through mail
August 4: faxed evidence for expedited request #1 (job offer with start date August 7)
August 8: expedited request in under review and will receive response shortly
August 9: got an email response to the service request of July 20: "Your case is currently under review. You should receive a decision or notice of other action shortly".
And that's where we are now. Has anybody received this message?? What timeline should I expect?? I was supposed to start working this past Monday and I am about to lose my job offer. Please share your experiences.

EAD Employment based.
Here are my timelines with Nebraska Centre
Employment EB-1 and I-485 Simultaneous filing based
Received Application for EAD On April 26, 2017
Did not get call for Biometrics.
My attorney filed a Service request on the 3rd of June
No response on the Service Request for a month.
Sent a mail to Nebraska Service centre and finally we got a Biometrics call for the 13th of July
Till date waiting on the EAD.
Filed a SR on the 26th of July after 90 days.
No response on the SR.
My attorney says that we have to wait one month for response and then follow up.
This is just crazy.. I am not sure how long does the I-140 cases take to approve for EB1. My priority date is March 26th 2017.
