congratulations so your case will be expedite!some time it take month or more! Do you know when you contact your congressman?

it took me 10 days to show card being produced

Congrats! what was your reason for expediting?

Congrats L S, I am still waiting Feb 2021. What evidence did you provide?

hello @vamsi gudey, what was your timeline? i had expedite approved Feb 3rd, “name was updated” Feb 14th, biometrics applied Feb 15th and no news yet. any estimates i can trust??

@L S Congrats!!! i hope you get your card soon

congrats! might take a while though. my husband got expedite approved almost a month ago but no approval on the petition yet. congresswoman is following up for us. I hope is not your case and you get yours super fast 😉

@L S did you get the card yet ? mine shows expedite request approved, I don’t know when to expect the card.

@Diana: Honestly, I just reached out to local Congressman and wrote him a letter asking him to assist me with reaching out to USCIS in regards to my i485 (out of processing time), i140 (updating my case online… because supposedly it got approved a year ago but it never reflected online), and i765 EAD renewal (because even though it was not out of processing time, I had renewed it 8 months prior and it was ridiculous to wait 12 months and I had to get back to work). All of this was at the end of December. So they sent a letter to uscis in January 4 and I got the EAD expedite request approved on Feb 25. I am more interested in getting my i485 approved though. Hopefully I’ll received the good news soon.

@Diana: I forgot to mention, in regards to my i765 EAD renewal, I also said this on my letter (to congressman): “Plus, in addition to not being allowed to work, I am also not able to 1) Renew my Drivers License, 2) Apply for Homestead Excemption, and 3) Renew my Car License Plates since I don’t have a current Valid ID form and I can’t get one without a valid EAD.” Fortunately, after sending the letter to the congressman, I figured out a way to renew my DL which allowed me to renew homestead and car plates. So that’s taken care of.

CG7: Thank You! This is what I sent to the congressman: A) Signed & Dated Privacy Release Form B) Letter detailing: history of problem, desired resolution, case timeline, attorney contact information, employee contact information C) Photocopies of Supporting Documentation: 1) Receipt Notices for I-485, I-765 and I-131 (Feb 2020) 2) Original I-485 Biometrics Appointment (March 2020) 3) I-765 EAD Approval - Valid from May 2020 to May 2021 (Notice June 2020) 4) Photocopies of EAD Card and I-94 5) Rescheduled I-485 Biometrics Appointment (Oct 2020) 6) I-140 Approval Notice (April 2021) 7) EAD Application for Renewal Receipt (April 2021) D) Photo Identification Card (Drivers License) E) Mexican Passport (expired)

Thanks L S - can I ask which congressman you used? Are you in Houston?

@Pukh: No I haven’t. This just happened within the last few days: Feb 25: Expedite request approved Feb 28: New card is being produced March 1: Case was approved

@CG 7: I live in McAllen so my local congressman is Vicente Gonzalez. You can check who you fall under here: https://www.house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative

@CG7: I then googled the phone number for his local office and called and ask who the best person was to assist me with immigration processing. The guy that answer was really helpful and emailed me all the documents I needed to fill out.

Thanks - my congressman wouldn't help as I am within processing times for the local field office they say would make a final adjudication on my case - even though I am EB and will 90% not get an interview.

This article was really helpful if you are trying to ask for help from your congressman: https://www.boundless.com/blog/how-to-contact-your-representative-to-speed-up-your-visa-processing-time/

@CG7: What does that even mean? You are out of processing time with TSC according to their website and that’s all that should matter. I think you need to ask to talk to somebody else.

Their own ' office guidelines' are that they only assist people once it goes beyond normal processing at the FO they will ultimately land in for a decision. It is ridiculous, baisically although I am 5 months over TSC a processing, they only look at the Houston FO which is 28 months, opposed to 19. I am currently at 25 months.

I just received a notification that EAD was just mailed! 🙌 Feb 25: Expedite Request Approved Feb 28: New card is being processed March 1: Case was approved March 3: Card has been mailed I’ll keep you guys updated!

Hi All, I got a notification that 'New Card is being Produced' for the EAD of both myself and my wife. No update to the 131, but we hope that comes tomorrow or shortly after. We received combo cards first time around and have four dependents.
