Finally an update
Hi all,

Wanted to share my timeline as I’ve finally received an update on my EAD renewal (Nebraska).

August 16th - receipt notice
January 15th - called customer service and spoke to an immigration officer who told me to be patient and that my card should be sent within a week.
February 2nd - raised SR for case outside of regular processing times
February 22nd - infopass appointment. The lady said she put in a priority request as the case was beyond processing times listed on the website (they were currently reviewing October application and mine had been filed in August). No updates on the website at all to show the request but she said I should hear back within two weeks.
February 26th - reached out to senator and congressman to ask for help with my case. No response (they might have contacted USCIS without letting me know though)
February 27th - reached out to ombudsman and asked for immediate assistance based on financial loss to company. They asked for evidence, which I sent straight away and was told they would review it and get back to me.
February 28th - ombudsman contacted USCIS about my case (they never got back to me about the evidence for priority request)
March 7th - USCIS responded to my SR from February 2nd “your card is currently under review and you will receive a response or other notice of action shortly”
March 8th - online status updated to “card being produced”

I have no idea which one of the steps I took helped in the end but I’m sure it’s something I’ve done in the past 2 weeks. My gut tells me it’s most likely the ombudsman. Regardless, I’m so relieved as my 180-day extension is ending on March 14th!
