Expedited or not, New Card is Being Produced
Hello guys, I have just refreshed my app, and my EAD was approved and is at “New Card is Being Produced. My timeline:

Center: NBC
AOS marriage based to. U.S. Citizen
PD: 21 Dec 2018
Biometric: 22 Jan 2019
*lots of wait*
On 11 July I was offered a job in my field, so I call the office of my Congressman, since my husband and I live near DC ($$) they accepted to send off my expedited request to USCIS. The office of the Congressman was extra nice and explained the process/necessary documents to me. The expedited request was sent to USCIS by their office on 18 July.

On 30 July, the office of the Congressman advised me that USCIS hd agreed to expedite my EAD and that I should call USCIS the next day to ensure that no additional document was needed.

Between my phone call to USCIS and talking with my Congressman’s office, the processing time for NBC for EAD drastically changed, so when I called I inquired about my expedited request and about the updated processing time since my case was now outside processing time. When I called the nice agent said that she could not see my expedited request and that I should be transferred to a Tier 2 agent, she put in an SR and said to call back on the following day at 8 am to make sure I could talk to a Tier 2 agent. I called back the followig day, talked about the expedited request (which is totally not their office) and the even nicer agent said that he was going to have my case expedited because I had a job offer and that my case was now outside normal processing time.

Tonight, I updated my app and my card is now being produced. I have no idea what worked, and if it changed something or if they were just at my case in queue, but I am so happy to be getting my EAD in the next week.

Do it, be proactive!!! Worse case your lose your time and get told no, which is better then not trying.

I feel like the isolation (not being able to travel outside the U.S.) and not working, and moving further away (45 mins from my friends) made me sort of depressed, I hope that if someone else is feeling depressed that you do something for yourself, talk to someone, workout, have a schedule so you force yourself to get out of bed, etc. It is not fun.

Good luck!
