Expedited EAD I-765 process
Just wanted to share our experience here in case it would be of help to anyone. I applied for the I-140 in February, with my wife as dependent applicant. We also concurrently filed the I-485, I-765 (EAD) and I-131 (advanced parole).
Our biometrics were completed in early March and I received my EAD+AP combo card at the end of March. However, my wife's did not arrive. In early April, she got 2 decision letters saying she was now a permanent resident, and as such, here I-765 and I-131 had been denied.
After several months of waiting in vain for her I-551 (Greencard), we learned from the USCIS that these letters and consequent denial of her EAD was an administrative error. She was then advised to file a new I-765 and I-131 application, which she did in mid-July.
On August 2, my wife got a job offer but could not resume work since we still did not have her EAD. Finally, after another phone call to the USCIS in late August, the agent raised an expedite request. A few days later, we received a letter in the mail asking to send further evidence. We sent copies of her 765/131 receipt notices, the earlier letters from April sent in error and a copy of her recent job offer. Our reasons on the cover letter were: USCIS error and severe financial loss. Within a week of mailing the evidence packet, the egov.uscis.com website updated the status to "New Card Being Produced".
Here's a brief synopsis starting from the second EAD application:
July 17: "Case Was Received" (my.uscis.gov and egov.uscis.gov)
Aug 27: "Notice of Representation Updated" (our lawyer filed G-28 forms to represent us on all our applications; this update only showed up on the my.uscis.gov site)
Aug 27: "Your Expedite Request has been Received" (egov.uscis.gov)
Sep 3: Letter arrives in the mail from USCIS requesting further evidence for expeditious handling
Sep 5: We mail 765/131 receipt notices, earlier USCIS decision letters sent in error and job offer letter.
Sep 11: "New Card Being Produced" (egov.uscis.gov)
It's been a long wait since February. My wife was earlier on an H1-B which lapsed in May. Grateful to God for his blessings, since these days, things are not as straightforward as they may have been in the past.
But hopefully this is useful to anyone still waiting on their EAD and that it sheds more light on the expedition process.
