413 days and finally approved!
After long 13.5 stressfull month, 6 month of unemployment and many many enquiries to USCIS through congressman and senators, ombudsman and my employer, Nebraska finally decided to approve my EAD/AP just right before holiday season.
I had 4x ERs, 6x SR, 3x tier2 agent calls, 100x chats, 3x congressional enquiries and 3x Ombudsman enquiries. mostof these have left unanswered and I'm not sure which method worked but I can say being a pain in the neck works in this system. My latest effort yesterday to ask to expedite my I131 (for the 2nd time) seems to helped and got everything approved. I yet to receive the medical RFE for GC and not sure how long I have to wait for it.
For those who want more details, it was new application C09 category EB2. I had one RFE in Aug asked for new photos.
Its time for me to log off from this community and return to normal life. Wish you all get yours soon and merry xmas!

Ethan F.Dec 20, 2021
S U - I yet tot receive the card yet but I believe it's with 2 years validity.
Ethan F.Dec 20, 2021
@Lorz. sorry to hear about your situation. Just font give up and take any opportunity to poke USCIS.
D MDec 20, 2021
congrats Ethan! know you've been waiting since a long time, finally it paid off!
IsaCat 🐱Dec 23, 2021
congratulation!!!🚀🚀🚀 were you excused from the gc interview?
Demian CarbaloDec 25, 2021
Congrats Ethan!!! But why they didn't approve your GC instead? USCIS has bizarre procedures
Ethan F.Dec 25, 2021
@Teddy, this was just the EAD. still waiting for medical RFE and appointments...
Ethan F.Dec 25, 2021
@Demian, very good question! but I don't have any answer for that. System is so messed up that they even don't consider skipping EAD and issuing GC directly.
Diya walsiDec 30, 2021
@ Ethan F. , how did you contact congressman? did you call them?
A BJan 4, 2022
just saw this, Congratulations Ethan, very happy for you!
