EAD (WorkPermit)

Hi everyone,

I have been watching the thread like crazy for the past few weeks.
My husband and I filed AOS packet: 485, I-130, AP, EAD etc. Everything
Filed August 17th 2017
I raised my first expedite request for EAD 765 based on (C9) category on August 25th 2017
August 28th 2017 Expedite Request response: We need additional information like an offer letter
August 30th 2017 I faxed in the official offer letter and my employer did the same.
I called in DAILY, I do mean EVERY single day, I kept being transferred to L2 customer service officers, and other people and no one would tell me if they had actually received my faxes.
September 11th 2017, I raised a 2nd request to expedite (this request was to follow up on my first request and to receive a response), at this point they were giving me mixed information.

September 13th 2017 I received an email response from my 2nd expedite request: we need a letter form your employer that they intend to terminate your employment.

I previously had DACA, and my EAD that went with it expired August 25th, and my employer terminated my job that day, however, they intend/intended to give me my job back the moment a new EAD was approved.

So at this point, there is no hope on what is going on at USCIS MSC.

I contacted one of my senators, I wrote him a letter detailing all the issues I was having getting factual updates and answers. I was told it could take 30 days but I called in the next morning and asked if I could speak to someone about getting emergency assistance. The office immigration liaison got to work immediately.

September 8th, I received a letter from the senators office that they had put in an inquiry on my behalf:
Documents submitted to his office. Letter detailing my issues, who I am, why I need this case expedited etc. and the letters written by USCIS as well as the email responses from the other expedite requests.

I waited, I called NSC, everyday.

On September 11th, the above happened.

Finally on September 15th, I called the sentors office and told them I was having no luck and none of these requests were answered. The laison finally budged and CALLED not just submitted an email request like he did the first time but called, and then he called me back a few minutes later and said the expedite request was approved.

I could not get anything in writing then, but I called the next few days and asked if there was anyway he could it officially in writing.. didn't hear back.

Finally I woke up this morning, I had already written an email to USCIS headquarters, and called USCIS to request assistance with my pending DACA case (105 days pending), then I called the senators office, and they told me they were drafting an email to me and I should get it shortly.

30 minutes later, I got an email from the senators office " your case has been approved for expedited processing" blah blah blah.

I refreshed the USCIS website, and finally after 5:30PM my case said approved and card will be mailed to the address on file.

So basically, DO NOT STOP CALLING everyone, don't stop calling USCIS, don't stop calling your Senator or Congressman, FOLLOW UP, they are here to help you.

EAD approved in 30 days from filing date.
I had $2 left in my bank account.
My husband is happy, and my job is eager for my return!

Stay persistent, and keep fighting! They are backlogged but if you don't give up they will help you.

Don't listen to the call back in 5 days, or we'll get back to you in 30 days.
CALL them via the phone or go in person if possible!!!
