EAD after Expedite
I am a silent reader on this thread and i just thought to share my experience.
PD: November 1, 2018 (Married to USC, First time EAD)
I got a job offer on January 2nd with a tentative start date of January 29, and on the 3rd i called USCIS to request an expedite. The tier 1 lady i spoke with didn't put my request down the way it was supposed to be, and that very day i request got rejected. So i called back that evening and spoke to a tier 2 representative who didn't have much info to give me but a number to fax my supporting documents to, i did that the next morning (funny enough the document wasn't acknowledged because it wasn't required of me officially) and also googled my congressman's and senator's branch offices close to me and went there to ask for assistance. I filled out the required forms there in their offices and they assisted with the expedite immediately.
On January 9th, i called again to expedite and i spoke to a tier 2 officer who helped with the expedite and was well detailed in putting in my request, the next day i got an email to send my supporting documents, did that the same day which was January 10. And i got updates from my congressman and senator's office the week after that my case has been received and has been requested for adjudication. So i waited, although i kept calling USCIS almost everyday but they didn't have any kind of update. One officer i spoke with told me "they haven't responded because my evidence wasn't solid enough, and they would reject it". It made me sad but didn't deter me from calling again. I set up an info pass appointment that day to go in to talk to them myself.
January 24 i got an email that said that on January 23rd an RFE was mailed to me, it made me really sad and ruined my day but i knew it wasn't going to stop me. I got the RFE in my mailbox on January 26 which was a Saturday, and i mailed the requested document back on January 28 which was Monday, i used overnight shipping option and so it got there on Tuesday. On Thursday i got an email that the response to my RFE was received. All the while my Senator and Congressman were also updating me with the emails i got from USCIS, i think they get the update too as i get them from USCIS.
On Monday February 4, i went in for my infopass appointment, when i got in there the network service on my phone was bad and i couldn't receive texts or calls. So i met the guy there, and he told me there was nothing he could do about my case because the decision rested upon the case officer and he said the only thing he could do for me was to check his system for the status on my request, lo and behold he checked and said my application had been approved a couple of minutes earlier. I was so happy, when i got out of the building and network service came back to my phone i got the email and text that my card was being produced. And on February 6, i got an email that my card has been mailed to me. So including my RFE my expedite timeline was less than a month (January 9 - February 4).
Thanks to everyone that shared their story which gave me hope when i was down. Goodluck to everyone else still waiting on their positive response. Cheers
