Received RFIE may 17, 2018 case no longer on hold

SILENCE - iT Was deafening. I had anxiety, checked this website multiple times per day. check case state 3 times per day. I couldn't wait anymore

EXPEDITE:

called and requested expedite july 13, 2018 (based on the fact that I own my business and I was up for getting a really good contract and needed to be background checked to get the contract. if I didnt get the EAD it would lead to financial loss

expedite request assigned to officer July 16

waiting on your case file July 17

expedite request complete and mail sent July 18

received mail july 24 (I expected to be asked for evidence to support my case, however the letter just stated that they are working on my case and would get a decision soon.)

July 25 called uscis to get clarification on letter, tier 2 officer just said that they are working on my case and to be patient. I was crushed but just shook it off and kept busy with my business

out of no where July 30, case approved card in production. I freaked out wondering if it was real. kept checking status over and over. it didn't go away. okay maybe its real

August 2 we mailed your card, okay it seems like its real. I get pumped now

August 3 USPS picked up your card. Okay it definitely real

August 4 card in hand

Total like 110 days

I have it in my hand while typing still cant believe. Got the contract also. so overall win win

I know its hard especially with the processing times going up each time but dont loose hope. it will pay off in end. now to relax somewhat until I start freaking out over i485. BTW no lawyers I did the paperwork myself.

ask any questions you would like and thanks again all for sharing your experiences.
