Expediting EAD after 195 days
Hello,

I have been waiting for my EAD for more than 6 months, so I am already out of normal processing time:

c9, marriage to USC

PD: 07/05/2018

08/09/2018: "Biometrics completed" (last status for I-765)

11/21/2018: I-485 "Ready to be Scheduled for an Interview"

12/28/2018: Tried to contact Senator (he never answered)

01/10/2019: Tried to contact Congressman (still waiting for his answer)

NO RFE

01/11/2019: Submitted expedite request based of severe financial loss calling USCIS. The lady was very kind and understanding, and said that she was writing about my situation while submitting the request: no job, my wife is pregnant, medical bills, etc. She took note of my email address and confirmed it two times. She said that USCIS would contact me back about my request between 1-2 weeks.

Then, next morning I received this 3 updates online, each one separated to the other only by 20-30 minutes :

"On January 12, 2019, your request to have your case expedited, referral number T YYYY YYYY ZZZ, was completed.
01/12/2019

On January 12, 2019, we sent a response to your request to have your case expedited, referral number T YYYY YYYY ZZZ.
01/12/2019

On January 12, 2019, your request to have your case expedited, referral number T YYYY YYYY ZZZ, was assigned to an officer for response."

Effectively, at the same time on January 12 I received an email from USCIS saying: "We received your request to expedite the decision on your application. Your case is currently under review. You will receive a decision or notice of further action shortly". But, surprisingly, at least for the moment they have never asked me for any proof of evidence as usual, as I can see in other posts and forums (though I have them ready to fax if they ask).

2 days ago (01/15/2018) I called USCIS again asking if there is already a decision about my expedite request and they said that it is still "under review" and they should contact shortly to my email address. I haven't received neither any physical letter from USCIS about this expedite during the last days.

My questions are:

- Is it possible that they can approve an expedite request without asking for proofs of evidence, because of being already out of normal processing time and considering the particular emergency that customer service representative detailed in the request by phone?

- Having the status "Our request to have your case expedited WAS COMPLETED" means that they already don't need and will no ask me for any proof of evidence? Or they can still send me an email/letter asking to fax them?

Anyone in the same situation or similar experience?

Thank you very much in advance.
