WOW!!! This is great information. Thanks for sharing.

I don't think so they lied

@Williams, it actually made sense how she explained. I have 6 expedites and everytime I do it,my file is pulled out of processing and reviewed then put back in line again,I do it same thing happens

@Sinsupa ,it makes all the semse

have you sent evidences?

@T S, I did and ignored 3 times now. the other denied

oh no :/ Did you send through email or fax?

@TS fax

@Emma I sent through email and I’ve never seen it.

@they give you only 2 options. Fax or mailing. Not email

@ yeah they gave me only email option.

T S that's weird

@Emma Yes !!

Thank you for sharing.

@SL you're welcome

I expedited 3 times and got approved without any evidence. I was just lucky but it's wild that they'd pull your file out

@Addo. congrats. yes file has to be pulled out to be reviewed

I’m still waiting for an answer on my expedite request. I expedited on January 6th and I haven’t heard anything since….

Sean, my last one I sent the fax they've ignored

Oh well that’s just spiffing isn’t it? Nothing like paying a federal agency $1760 - which stretched our family enough, only to be ignored and slow walked!

I know. trust me I'm mentally broken too because of this. Can't drive can't do nothing

I filed my case back in August and all I’ve gotten is my biometrics completed and that’s it. Well, if I don’t hear anything by next week I’ll assume I’ve been ignored too. And if I don’t have my work permit by March 10th I’ll be contacting my local congresswoman (Tammy Duckworth) to see if she can get this joke of an agency to pull their finger out!

mine is March 10th so unfortunately you might be lucky or not. 10 months now for me

Have you contacted your local congressman/woman? Your case is definitely outside of normal processing and therefore eligible for investigation to see what the hell is taking so long. Contact them, and they’ll help you mate.

Sean I did the very first times not now. I can't even file an inquiry with uscis until March 5th which will make it a year

That’s so dumb! What state are you in? If you don’t mind me asking of course.

Texas

I’m in Illinois. Even people immigrating to the UK don’t experience this much of a delay. The whole process is done in 6 months.

They don't for sure. it's ridiculous. I'm tired abd exhausted

I hear you mate. The system is fucked. Theirs no first come, first served basis in place. The least they can do is send out a courtesy letter every so often letting us know where our case is and the most recent updates as opposed to just leaving everyone in the dark. Or, as soon as USCIS accepts your case, give them automatic work authorization.

Exactly what pains me more. no first come first served. The ones who came last gets it first

Well I just spoke to Emma (coincidence lol) and ultimately to a live agent. They said once evidence is received regarding an expedite request, theirs no time frame on when a response can be issued on said request. So, my wife has to incur further financial loss as she’s the only one supporting our 6 kids, maintaining the roof over our head, paying the bills, paying the rent etc because this agency doesn’t take expedite requests seriously?

Sean yes that's what they say all the time

saw this right after I submitted my expedite request 🥲 shouldve just stayed put… I was gonna request on the basis of job loss but idk how it’ll affect with I864. I mean I had to use a joint sponsor too. I’m really worried now

@Jack jack relax, the main post mentioned about not to keep doing it, however, every case is different and people have different needs and situations. What applies to you doesn’t necessarily apply to me entirely. So taking in the information, but still do what you gotta do if you see it appropriate to fit your needs. Even if that’s what you don’t need to do, done is done, better knowledge for next decision you make. We’re in the same boat so don’t add stress to yourself. It’s hard enough for most people. 😅

Hi Emma, I never expedite my case, I still waiting no EAD PD March 15th

@jack jack. you could expedite but don't do it a lot like I did

Moon, mine is March 15th as well. which state are you?

I lived in Texas, my FO is Kansas

Moon I'm in Texas

In March we can summit an inquiry about our case, Im very tired for this process, testing my patience

Yes Moon. March 5th and it's not a guarantee we'll get a response soon. it's just sad

Definitely understand your frustrations guys i’m in the same boat file my case on April 18 275days have gone by still no ead no advance parole nothing i have tried to contact uscis from live chat and phone call agent keep telling me they can’t access to any information about my case witch is weird sound like a real joke i have that same answer more then 10 times now i give up calling them i’m staying put and hope God will come along with his miracle.

@Noor. it's just sad and pathetic for them to treat us this way

Emma, have you received any update? I just requested an expedition for the EAD eventhough I want the travel authorization instead so I can go see my family back home that I haven’t seen in 4.5 years. when they ask to fax evidence, what kind of evidence do you need to send them? I already lost my job so I can’t submit that I’ll lose my job as the reason anymore :/

@Z B nothing until now
