EAD Approved (expedited)
This is for my wife’s EAD based on pending I-485. She is a healthcare worker and we tried twice to expedite her case based on employer letter explaining urgent need in their clinic. however USCIS denied expedite processing. finally reached out to Congressman’s office who agreed to request on our behalf. put together an expedite request based on humanitarian grounds (urgent requirement in clinic) and financial hardship (two mortgages since we are moving cities) on April 12. USCIS agreed to expedite on April 16 and we received final EAD approval tonight (April 29) exactly two weeks later. hope this timeline helps the community here, reading through everyone’s experience was very helpful and I hope this helps you. have patience and try your best when expediting. more evidence proving urgency generally helps.
let me know if there are any additional questions. all the best!

hi ravinder, technically congressman’s office can help. they did help change the expedite denial to approval. but at the same time, please try to get as much supportiing evidence as possible. letter from employer explaining the impact of not joining/working on time. demonstrating impact to patients etc will help.

leley: we had to send multiple supporting documents and a cover letter. just explaining the emergency, enough evidence and congressman letter should help. I don’t have one email that I can share, sorry.
