EAD (WorkPermit)

Hello Everyone,

So happy to be the one to share my experience finally, after spending hours in this forum of reading all the different posts. This forum has been really helpful, I just wish I found it earlier, I believe I would act differently from beginning.

So sharing my timeline

I am married to US citizen (C09)

11 Dec 2017 - application was sent
14 Dec 2017 - application was received by USCIS
8 Jan 2018 - biometrics
Somewhere at the end of April found this forum, called USCIS to inquire about the case. Received a Generic letter in mail after a week, saying that he case was under processing
15 May 2018 - was exactly 5 months, no answer from them, called the agent, and our lawyer raised SR from his side. No reply
23 May 2018 - submit another SR online. Got an answer on 27 May 2018 , saying that it is under normal processing time. Right after that the timings on the website were edited to 4-6 months waiting period. At the same time frame, our lawyer (after we told him to do so) requested the info pass, as in everyone's case I believe it was also useless.
23 May 2018 - also found our congressmen office number and sent them the release form. The person who was dealing with them shortly after took a vacation, so did not here from them till Jun 11. Also they were not really helpful, saying my case is under normal processing time.

Waited till Jun 14 (to be exactly 6 months - no answer what-so-ever). I decided to expedite, as I got a letter from the employer stating the loss they gonna have if they do not hire me, and job offer. Called USCIS, made an expedite request, the agent said to wait for the email to fax the proof. Never asked for any proof and on Jun 16 - got email "your case is approved, we are producing your card". Did not receive the card in hand, but so much released and can plan my life back again.

Good luck to everyone, hope all of you get good news very soon.
