Card is being produced!!!
Thank you God!
I’m very thankful for this community and your support!
Posting this to help others and to give you hope!
Whenever you feel you want to give up please keep pushing
My timeline:
RD 02/19/2021
12/03 SR for out of normal processing times and they replied saying keep waiting 39 days later
12/03 Expedite request over the phone based on personal financial loss. Denied 30 days later without asking for proof.
01/17 Expedite request through congressman based on personal and company financial loss. Expedite request denied on 02/04. Provided company supporting letter and bank statement. No cover letter.
01/17 Reached to Ombudsman and they replied on 02/10 saying they have a backlog and haven’t been able to reach out to USCIS
01/20 Expedite request through senator. They reached to USCIS and USCIS never replied
02/02 Tier 2 Agent callback. Requested by me over the phone with agent. Took them 20 days to call me. They will email you 2 days before the call. Keep your phone next to you at all times. Ask if your case has been assigned to an officer and you can also ask status of expedite requests among other things. Agent said I would hear back about my expedite request in 2 days and she was right.
02/04 2nd SR for out of normal processing times. No response
Called USCIS every day for 3 weeks. Side note: learned that tier 1 agents don’t have access to see the status of expedite requests raised through congressional offices/ senator
02/10 Reached again to congressman (4 days after receiving the response from USCIS saying my expedite got denied). I lost my job because my extension expired so I decided to give it another shot. Drafted 27 pages including more evidence. Expedite request was based on personal and company financial loss Congressman reached out yesterday again to USCIS and received response today saying my expedite request got approved.
Status changed to Card is being produced 2 hrs after that.
Update:
02/18: Card received!!
Lessons learned:
Expedite requests from congressman/ senator work! Congressman are usually less busy and takes them less time to raise the expedite request on your behalf than Senator.
I spoke with a tier 2 officer in an online seminar and she said multiple expedite request won’t delay your case. If you have an urgent reason to expedite do it, if it gets denied keep pushing. Try to include more evidence and explain your circumstances in more detail.
I know the process and the waiting is very overwhelming try to keep yourself busy and keep pushing!
I hope you find this information helpful and that your case gets approved soon!

I researched a lot about expedite requests for my 3rd try and found this on Reddit. It was super helpful and gives you an idea on how to start and guidance. I hope you find it useful https://www.reddit.com/r/USCIS/comments/m8pd3j/part_2_of_expedite_request_approved_what_evidence/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

Have you received your card yet? mine changed to card is being produced on Feb 10th but I am still waiting. I believe the status changes to we mailed your card.
Z MFeb 14, 2022
Not yet. Changed to card being produced on Friday night. I guess they will mail it today
jeneto 123Feb 14, 2022
makes sense, yeah I am hoping mine will too. good luck to you and congrats!
Fisayo AFeb 15, 2022
Did you both get your Card? Mine has been on Card being produced since 2/7/22 and I haven’t received it.
Z MFeb 15, 2022
Not yet. still says card is being produced :/
jeneto 123Feb 15, 2022
mine says the same. I do have the approval notice though, so I hope they will be shipping out the card here soon.
Fisayo AFeb 15, 2022
I have my approval notice as well. I called them today and they said the card is still being produced.
Fisayo AFeb 15, 2022
Hopefully we get it this week.
jeneto 123Feb 15, 2022
thanks for letting us know. the wait is killing me! and yes, hopefully 🙏🏻👏🏻
Z MFeb 15, 2022
Did they mail you the approval notice?
jeneto 123Feb 15, 2022
they probably did, which I am assuming it’s coming tomorrow or Wed…but it’s already available on my myuscis anyways
Z MFeb 15, 2022
Thank you! where in myuscis
jeneto 123Feb 15, 2022
when you create an online account on myuscis you can put your receipt number and track your case
Z MFeb 15, 2022
Hi thank you all! I called today and still says card is being produced. have yours changed yet? The agent says it could take up to 2 months to receive the card. smh
Z MFeb 15, 2022
Do you guys know if we can present the approval notice to start working while we wait for the new EAD?
jeneto 123Feb 15, 2022
oh wow, that’s so frustrating! I have no idea it could take that long. Nah, as far as I know you can only with EAD. I think the approval notice itself says that, which is even more frustrating
Z MFeb 16, 2022
Thank you! hope we receive it soon! the waiting is frustrating
jeneto 123Feb 16, 2022
I just received an update on my status: “card is produced”. I am expecting to be shipped tomorrow 🙏🏻
