Does anyone know how fast it takes for USCIS to mail EAD once they approve your expedite request?

Got this from Emma today - " Thank you. According to our system, your biometrics is scheduled for May 17, 2021" waiting for physical mail (also the online tool is not updated with this info )

Congrats!

How to check this through Emma?

Nice! Congrats!

How did you get her to look this up for you? When I type "check status", she just gives me the usual links:

• Check Case Status
• USCIS Processing Times
• Case Outside Normal Processing Time
• How Do I Find My Receipt Number?
• Invalid Case Number or Receipt Number

Awesome. Yes, the next update you will see will be after your biometrics appointment to show that your fingerprints have been taken. I have been scheduled for an interview as well in 2 weeks and my status never updated.

I am also thinking of doing the same. Just maybe scared, it might impact negatively. Do you think that can happen?

No, it can't. There is nothing wrong with trying to push your case forward if it's stuck or moving slowly. They won't deny your case just because you are asking to place an inquiry. An inquiry is just you trying to find out why things are not moving forward in a timely manner. Worst case scenario they will tell you that you have to keep waiting and your inquiry was unsuccessful.

It really depends on who's on the other side. I tried more than once before I was successful. That's also how I was able to get my interview scheduled right after my biometrics appointment. Keep trying if you don't want to wait. Eventually you will find an agent who is willing to help you. Good luck!

I was able to get through and they did not want to open up an inquiry , they stated the following:

Unfortunately, a service request cannot be submitted for the biometrics. Due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, we have experienced delays in scheduling or rescheduling Application Support Center (ASC) appointments to collect biometrics. We are working to safely maximize appointment capacity at our centers and are also reusing previously collected biometrics to conduct background and security checks when authorized by law. Please continue to wait for an ASC Appointment Notice or you may receive Form I-797, Notice of Action from USCIS indicating that your previously collected biometrics may be reused.

did you apply for EAD as well? wonder how soon will get it...

Please share when you get yours! I have my bio this week and will be desperately waiting for my EAD.

Thank you! I opened an inquiry with USCIS to speed up my process.

haha just checked and mine were updated and saying the same now on my USCIS website.

That’s good!

My I-485 and I-765’s status were updated to “Case was updated to show fingerprints were taken” two days after biometrics.
