congrats! how long after biometrics did you get it?
krystal usaAug 10, 2021
they had sent a response to me to the wrong email, the agent messed it up so I would advice persons to call and check up on the expedited requests.
my email was just informing me to try expediting after I did biometrics the agent told me
Nick KoolAug 10, 2021
how long ago did you expedite before you got EAD approval? Thanks.
Christine C.Aug 10, 2021
@M N: thanks! I did my biometrics on July 13. about a month ago
Christine C.Aug 10, 2021
@krystal usa: you're right! my first request was actually put on hold because I hadn't done my bio but I never received the email. I only learned about it when I chatted with a live agent afterwards.
Christine C.Aug 10, 2021
@Nick Kool: about 3.5 weeks

Congrats. I submitted an ER on July 6th and it got assigned to an officer. No updates since then. I wonder if it will ever get worked upon. LIN

Congratulations Christine C. I'm still waiting for the EAD approval. Job offers are being rescinded. I've contacted the CIS Ombudsman at DHS, and they have contacted the USCIS about my case.
Christine C.Aug 11, 2021
@Demian hang in there! I'm sure it will get worked on
@Taapoli I hope you hear good news soon! I know it can be very frustrating but once you get your EAD, follow up with the employers. they likely still have openings to fill!
Taapoli TAug 11, 2021
Thanks, Christine C. I'm hoping for the best.
