Hi! How long did you wait for answer? So you asked for EAD expedite but you got both travel permit and work permit? Thank you
S ZMay 4, 2023
@Kay Lee hi I waited for a about a week. But I kept faxing them twice a day just in case they didn’t receive it. and yes I applied for EAD expedite but they approved my i131 as well! saw that happen for quite a few people recently :)
paula nMay 4, 2023
what did the letter include? @Annie L under what basis did you request an expedite?
C SMay 4, 2023
Thank you so much for you answer
Vee VMay 4, 2023
@Annie L Did you use online service for faxing by any chnace?
S ZMay 5, 2023
@paula n Hi the letter is basically explaining my dire need to get a job, without an EAD I can’t get a license, etc.
S ZMay 5, 2023
@paula n it’s under personal financial loss
S ZMay 5, 2023
@Vee V I used a fax app! there’re tons on App Store :)
keep waitingMay 5, 2023
Did you send expedite request before or after your biometrics?
CR WalkerMay 5, 2023
How do I make the expedite? Do I have to call them first?
S ZMay 5, 2023
@Keep Waiting a week after my biometrics
Vee VMay 5, 2023
@Annie L Nice, I used efax app and sent it once and waiting since 3 weeks will resend tomorrow early morning. thank you for sharing your experience
S ZMay 5, 2023
@CR Walker I used the Emma live chat. they will ask for a brief reason to expedite and give you a referral number
CR WalkerMay 5, 2023
@Annie L thank you
CR WalkerMay 5, 2023
Just contact the live agent through Emma and they said I have to put my requiem writing and mail to NBC?
S ZMay 5, 2023
@CR Walker did they give you a referral ID?
CR WalkerMay 5, 2023
@Annie L no I didn’t get any
S ZMay 5, 2023
@CR Walker you need to say that you want to expedite your EAD to a live agent on emma. and go from there
CR WalkerMay 5, 2023
@Annie L I just got through and I did get a inquiry number and and date that I Will heard from them to submit documents. I guess the agent I spoke to this morning didn’t understand
S ZMay 5, 2023
@CR Walker oh nice! yeah some agents really don’t know what they’re doing haha
CR WalkerMay 5, 2023
@Annie L thanks alot for the assistance
S ZMay 10, 2023
@caio c unfortunately there’s no way to know if they’ve received it or placed it correctly. that’s why I kept faxing twice a day for six days straight lol
Fulya TRMay 14, 2023
first of all CONGRATZ!! do you think credit card statements are better or checking account with small amount of balance is effective for a evidence? by mentioning bills, did you mean phone bill, or utility bills on your name?
C SMay 16, 2023
@Vee V have you heard from them?
S ZMay 17, 2023
@Fulya C G hi thank you! I think either would work, but if you have a lot of money on the debit card it might be less effective. As for bills I used insurance and utility receipts since they don’t do bills, and I took screenshots of our monthly rent
C SMay 17, 2023
@caio c hey have you got your answer? I’m still waiting it’s been 2 weeks
CR WalkerMay 19, 2023
@Vee V have you heard back about your expedite
Vee VMay 19, 2023
Not heard about it. but got an RFE on 485 still waiting for notice.
rank changed on lawfully, seems like lot of them got their cases moved forwad who filed close to my PD.
I also noticed this in case tracker app where you can scan upto 500 cases at a time.
Vee VMay 19, 2023
@CR Walker
CR WalkerMay 19, 2023
ok @Vee V cause am seeing in the app where person getting back reply today, hopefully your RFE is for your medical. All the best
Vee VMay 19, 2023
@CR Walker yes, it is medical revieewed online. but no updates on any other petetions. not sure what is happening with i130
CR WalkerMay 19, 2023
@Vee V my friend got RFE for medical and when he submitted it then his I-130 was approved so keep the faith that you will be lucky as well
Vee VMay 19, 2023
@CR Walker wow! that’s great. Hope it happens for most of us. good luck.
Vee VMay 21, 2023
@CR Walker The onlh think to think about is mine says “Request for *INITIAL* Evidence”
CR WalkerMay 21, 2023
@Vee V If it’s a request for initial evidence then it’s something that is missing from your application for example marriage certificate, birth certificate or they might need you to redo your I-864
Vee VMay 21, 2023
@CR Walker they sent me it for the medical, i dint send the medical reports at the time of filing.
CR WalkerMay 21, 2023
@Vee V ok great you will be approved soon
Vee VMay 22, 2023
@CR Walker Thank you. Hope the same happens. I will update here soon.
CR WalkerMay 22, 2023
@Vee V You’re welcome and thanks
Vee VJun 15, 2023
@CR Walker RFE received 20+ days and no response yet. how is it going with yours?
CR WalkerJun 15, 2023
Hi @Vee V, I got update last week Monday that they have received my response to the RFE so am just waiting on them.
Vee VJun 15, 2023
@CR Walker congratulations on your i130 and i765 approvals
CR WalkerJun 15, 2023
@Vee V thank you.

@sz hello! Congratulations!
Do you think we request an expedite for my husband? I am currently working with H1B visa but husband cannot work as he doesn't have work authorization so I am the only one who gets paid in our family.
The problem is he doesn't have a credit card. Can we use our utility bills, lease as a proof or we need more evidence?
