EAD Expedited Successfully
Silent reader for several months. USC spouse and filed in very late May for I485 I765 and I131.
I tried to expedite the EAD with a job offer (stating I would start in August) straight away through senator's office and got denied because it was only three weeks after filing.
Next day after that I tried to expedite through USCIS (late June). After five days I received an email asking for evidence - I faxed all the documents early July (cover letter, job offer, my spouse student loans, our lease, and even medical bills for minor issues I had in my skin).
No response for two weeks I involved the senator's office again and the ombudsman. I received another email (same as before) asking for evidence. At this point I was frustrated I had to fax the same documents to another person. I did it and kept calling USCIS, messaging senator's office and the ombudsman.
One week after sending this I received an update with "New Card is Being in Production".
Some of my thoughts:
1) Involve everybody you can - senator's office can be extremely helpful, same with ombudsman. They can put pressure on your case to see what's going on. USCIS is not really helpful on the phone to update abour your case.
2) I was told by senator's office that the National Benefits Center is expediting EADs based on job offers - that is the only thing they cared about (just in case I sent all the other information - it does not hurt to add more). I am not sure about this but you do not lose anything trying. I have read some people saying that you should be patient. That is fine, but be patient after you have tried everything, not before.
3) Lawyers seem very outdated regarding processing times (some of them kept telling me that I would receive the EAD in 75 days - this is not happening anymore). Also, some lawyers have no clue regarding expediting EAD. Do not pay attention to anybody that tells you that you should not try. It does not hurt your case (according to senator's office).
4) The final decision seems sort of arbritrary. It depends on what officer receives your application as you can read in blogs some with just a job offer got it expedited and some with tougher situations got denied. The good thing is that every time you try to expedite you might assign a different officer.
Wish you the best
