Hi folks, I was an avid reader of this page so I thought i'd share my timeline.
Married to USC, was using F1 OPT before concurrent filing (i-130, i-485, etc). Filed in MD
PD: 04/13/2018
Biometrics: 05/11/2018
No change except for: "...as of June 23 we are ready to schedule an interview" --very very NOT helpful.
06/11/2018 had to take a temporary unpaid leave from work because F1-OPT-EAD had expired. Employer gave me until 08/03 because we thought I would have it by then. I didnt.
Expedite:
07/23 - I call USCIS to try and expedite on financial reasons. Representative says she will submit request and I should hear back within 5 days - if they need additional info or if they reject my request.
07/30- It has been a week and no word from USCIS so i call one of my Senators (we have 2). Sen Van Hollen (MD). They ask me to submit privacy release form and provide any additional proof that will help my case. I submit a letter from my boss which stated that I had until 08/03 or they would fire me. The Senator's office submited the expedite request and letter to USCIS on my behalf on the same day. They called me the next day and four days later to give me updates which was very helpful.
08/06-- New card is being produced. Senator's office actually called to give me the good news. When i looked it up on the uscis website it said the same thing.
08/09--Card was mailed to me
08/11-- Card in hand. The post man left it in my mailbox. I live in a condo so it was a pretty communal mailbox, nothing special
128 days (4 months 6 days)
Good luck to everyone.
