EAD (WorkPermit)

Thank you so much everyone for sharing your experiences here. Without this forum I would not have known that it’s possible to expedite EAD and what steps it requires. When we filed my AOS package (married to USC) we were under the assumption that the EAD would arrive in 90 days. It was quite a shock to learn the actual timeline which was 6.5-8.5 months at that time. I have a signed job offer with starting date on September 1st. Here’s my timeline:

05/30/2019 case received
06/28/2019 biometrics
07/09/2019 expedite request by calling USCIS customer service based on financial loss
07/15/2019 email asking to fax evidence
07/16/2019 I faxed the package including cover letter, employment letter and bills. Never received a confirmation that my fax has been received

At this point I also involved local congressman and senators’ offices

08/08/2019 call from congressman’s representative that my case will be expedited
08/12/2019 email from senator’s representative “Thank you for your inquiry regarding this constituent’s immigration matter. This case will be routed for expedited processing. Once this case is reviewed, your constituent will receive a decision or notice of further action. Due to the extremely high volume of expedite requests for this case type, there are numerous cases involving exigent or humanitarian issues already in the expedite queue, and we are unable to provide a specific timeframe for the expedited review. The strict enforcement of the expedite criteria means that all cases sent for expeditious handling are urgent, and we assure you that this case will be adjudicated as soon as possible.”

Still waiting impatiently for the decision and card. Exercising and a glass of wine keeps me sane at the moment, really stressful time and I feel everyone else here reading their experiences.
