MS KJun 9, 2021
yes same for me! 27th and still pending
JB RomJun 9, 2021
Does you status shows expedite request received? Hope we get good news soon!
MS KJun 9, 2021
yes and received email on 3rd saying under review.. no news post that.
MS KJun 9, 2021
did you get any email updates?
JB RomJun 9, 2021
I just got an email saying “we have taken an action on your case”, wondering if it means the same as yours!
MS KJun 9, 2021
ok Good, no mention of approval?
JB RomJun 9, 2021
Nothing yet! I’ve seen many people getting expedite approvals within a week
Mrs. IkeJun 9, 2021
I called on May 23 to request it, and they told me to wait for a call from a Tier 2 USCIS officer. that call came on Jun 3, and now waiting for an email, which should come tomorrow, latest they said...
MS KJun 9, 2021
yes , but it was till May end.. looks like it’s getting delayed from June 1st onwards
MS KJun 9, 2021
oh.. what did Tier 2 officer ask?
Be niceJun 9, 2021
if your Bio is pending, they won’t expedite it
MS KJun 9, 2021
Bio done on 3/3
JB RomJun 9, 2021
Yes unfortunately it looks like its getting delayed, I really hope we get to hear something from them this week
JB RomJun 9, 2021
Bio done on 3/5
Mrs. IkeJun 9, 2021
@MS K the officer just asked me basic questions about my reason for requesting the expedite, and after I told her she said she would send an email to my service center (which is Nebraska) and that I should expect to hear from them within 5 days (which would be tomorrow at the latest). So, praying...i have my evidence ready to send when they request it. but I have not received that request yet...
JB RomJun 9, 2021
Hope you hear from them tomorrow! I’ll keep you updated if I hear something from them also
MS KJun 10, 2021
@Mrs. lke All the Best for your approval!!
MS KJun 10, 2021
@JB yes. let’s keep posted of the process.Thx.
john aJun 10, 2021
I requested expedite of my I-131 with emma live agent on June 3rd, no any update since. even my case status did not change to expedite request received. yesterday I chatted with live agent why my case status did not change, agent said they are expeditin it manually.
faraz khanJun 10, 2021
I got an email requesting evidence last Wed, sent reply Friday, waiting for reply..
Mrs. IkeJun 10, 2021
@faraz khqn did you ever speak with a tier 2 agent prior to your email request? I'm just curious about the process people are experiencing...
faraz khanJun 10, 2021
nope live agent
david johnJun 10, 2021
@ mrs. Ike exactly the same thing happened to me. today makes it 8 workings day after the tier 2 call but still no email, nothing
faraz khanJun 10, 2021
I got email after 10 days
MS KJun 10, 2021
@ faraz what date did you raise the request? was it through Emma?
MS KJun 10, 2021
@ John a Any idea what does that mean when they say expediting it manually?
faraz khanJun 10, 2021
around 20 days since it's updated that they received request
Mrs. IkeJun 10, 2021
@john David thanks for sharing. Have you tried calling them? The tier 2 officer told me 5 days, so I called on day 4 (today) and they said I should receive something by tomorrow. Did the officer give you an expected timeframe for when you could expect to hear from them?
Mrs. IkeJun 10, 2021
@john a where are you viewing your case status? is it through the uscis online portal?
john aJun 10, 2021
I have chatted with Emma 3 times after I submitted expedite request, they are saying just wait. It’s weird case status is not changing. I am checking through USCIS account but still same. Maybe I should talk with Tier 2 ? I am thinkning to get info pass and go to field office to get it.
JB RomJun 10, 2021
My case status changed after 4 days when I raised the expedite request
Ren YuuJun 10, 2021
I submitted request on 5/27 and my status hasn’t changed to anything :(
john aJun 10, 2021
in recent months uscis receiving so many expedite requests, this might be reason why they are not updating cases on time.
faraz khanJun 10, 2021
whole process takes time Even if u expedite
david johnJun 10, 2021
@mrs ike yes I am viewing my status through this his app. its the same thing. my status does not say expedite request receive, it says biometric was applied. when I chated with another tier 1 agent after the Tier agent put in expedite request via the call, the tier agent informed me that there is an expedite request on my case put in by tier 2 that I should receive feedback in 5days. This coming Friday will make it 10days since I got that call from tier 2
Mrs. IkeJun 10, 2021
@john david it sounds like they are definitely behind then...they told you 5 days, but it has been 10. Sigh. Well, I guess all we can do it wait and see. I hope you hear something soon. keep us posted!
Be niceJun 10, 2021
it takes more than 5 days to call back or to communicate .
Ren YuuJun 10, 2021
today is 10 business days for me, hopefully I hear a response today :/
Mrs. IkeJun 10, 2021
@Ren Yuu did they tell you 5 days too? Have you tried calling?
Ren YuuJun 10, 2021
@mrs. Ike I contacted them and they said it usually takes 5 days but can be longer
MS KJun 10, 2021
I am also on 10th day.. planning to call and check latter today
Mrs. IkeJun 10, 2021
oh, you are on the 10th day too @MS K! Well, there seems to be a trend here...Anyway, it's helpful to know. Praying that we all see some progress with our expedite requests soon 💗
MS KJun 10, 2021
Just had a chat with live agent, no further update and just keep waiting :(
Mrs. IkeJun 10, 2021
@MS K thanks for sharing your update. that really sucks... 😩 hope you hear something soon
Be niceJun 10, 2021
hope you all have you biometric done….. to expedite
MS KJun 10, 2021
@PD Bio done 3 months before… it’s more than 7 months waiting from AOS filing for EAD
Be niceJun 10, 2021
then you should hear something soon
Mrs. IkeJun 10, 2021
@PD DP the biometric request would come in after the i130 is approved, and it goes to NVC, right?
MS KJun 10, 2021
finally my case status directly changed to card being produced now 🙏
Mrs. IkeJun 10, 2021
@MS K yayyyyyy!!!! yesss!!! that's awesome news!!! are you seeing this status change through your online USCIS account?
MS KJun 10, 2021
I got alert from this lovely App and then checked in USCIS site
Ren YuuJun 10, 2021
@ms k so your case status never showed that the expedite request was even received and changed to new card?
MS KJun 10, 2021
no , it’s directly changed to new card
JB RomJun 10, 2021

MS KJun 10, 2021

Mrs. IkeJun 14, 2021
@Ren Yuu have you heard anything yet?
Ren YuuJun 14, 2021
@ms ike nothing :(
Mrs. IkeJun 15, 2021
same here @Ren Yuu... 😥
Ren YuuJun 16, 2021
quick update. apparently USCIS had sent me an email on June 10 (which I definitely didn’t get as I checked all my inboxes) asking for evidence for my expedite request. I faxed the evidence yesterday. fingers crossed
seyi RJun 16, 2021
wow. how did you now find ou about the email??
Ren YuuJun 16, 2021
@seyi i asked the agent if he had any updates and he said oh you didn’t see the email they sent you on the 10th? I said no and he typed what they sent me
seyi RJun 16, 2021
wow that’s crazy. I guess I’ll do the same.
Mrs. IkeJun 16, 2021
@Ren Yuu were you speaking to an agent, or was it through Emma?
Ren YuuJun 16, 2021
@mrs.ike it was thru emma live agents
john aJun 17, 2021
I have unupdated update. chatted with Emma today and agent said my expedited request has not been assigned to officer yet. requested on June 3rd. case did not change even.
john aJun 17, 2021
request for info pass. now waiting for their call to make schedule.
john aJun 17, 2021
requested info pass
Mrs. IkeJun 17, 2021
@john a thanks for the update. I can never get Emma to give me that kind of information...
david johnJun 17, 2021
@john a what is info pass?
david johnJun 18, 2021
update, requested another expedite today since I didn’t get any response for the one Tier 2 officer made on May 28th. fingers crossed
Ren YuuJun 18, 2021
@john so uscis is still open today?
Mrs. IkeJun 18, 2021
@Ren Yuu USCIS is open M-F 8am to 8pm EST
Ren YuuJun 18, 2021
@mrs ike right, but today is a federal holiday now (juneteenth) so I wasn’t expecting USCIS to be open
david johnJun 18, 2021
@mrs ike yes they are open. I chatted with an agent via emma and I was able to also speak with an agent on phone via the customer service number after waiting. I guess people didn’t know that was why I was able to get connected.
Mrs. IkeJun 19, 2021
ok. thanks @john David
sam samJun 24, 2021
Faraz khan any update?
david johnJun 25, 2021
any update on the expedite requests?
Ren YuuJun 25, 2021
I was approved yesterday! 5 business days after submitting evidence
Mrs. IkeJun 25, 2021
yay!! that's great @Ren Yuu!! which service center?
Ren YuuJun 25, 2021
potomac!
Mrs. IkeJun 25, 2021
oh!! thats pretty damn impressive @Ren Yuu!!! That's mine too! still waiting for the call...it has not been 14 days since they promised to contact me
david johnJun 25, 2021
wow. congrats @ren yuu. what evidence did they ask for?
Mrs. IkeJun 25, 2021
I wish I got to the point where they even asked for evidence! hopefully next time...🙏🏾 @Ren Yuu was it your expedite that was approved, or your i-130?
Ren YuuJun 25, 2021
it was my i765 that got approved
david johnJun 25, 2021
just an update on my expedite request…Like I said, Tier 2 put in an expedite request for EAD on may 28 but I never got any response so I called uscis june 18 and they put in another expidite request and they said I will get a response in 5days. Today makes it 5 business days and I called again this morning and the agent said they sent an email on june 23 saying my request is under review and I will receive a response shortly. I never received that email and I have checked my spam/junks folder. it looks like something is wrong with uscis emailing system because I have read here that people have had that experience of not receiving emails. I am just tired!!
david johnJun 25, 2021
got an update now that I am scheduled for interview..no update on my ead expedite request
Mrs. IkeJun 25, 2021
@david john you are right! I never got their email either! so frustrating! but glad you called -- that seems to be the only thing that works.
david johnJun 25, 2021
@mrs ike I agree. I think calling and chatting with them is the only thing that works.
david johnJun 28, 2021
update..got an update on this app that my expedite request is approved. they didn’t request for evidence. I didn’t get any email, is that right?
seyi RJun 28, 2021
yeah. that’s right. congratulations 🍾🎉. what’s your pd??
david johnJun 28, 2021
@seyi R Thank you. my pd is Feb 4, 2021. I have interview scheduled already. my mothers prayer is working seriously Lol
