Healthcare worker EAD expedite request approved
Hello, I request EAD Expedite base on healthcare worker(nurse) via Emma live chat on 8/7.
And after a week, 8/14, i got an email from USCIS saying i need to submit by email, documentations that supports my request for expedited processing.
8/14, I submitted "Job offer letter, A letter (written/signed by me with explanation why i request expedite), and screenshot of USCIS email notice.
8/17 Expedite Request Approved.
I wanted to share this because I've read some healthcare workers whose got denied their expedite requests. And some ppl had to request multiple times to get approved.
I was gonna write a letter to congressmen if my expedite reject as well but thankfully it approved!
Hope this info will be hepful for someone :).

@orangecatbraincell . oh, my god! thank you for sharing! Everything you said happened the same in my case and I sent the exact documents you sent but they reject mine. I'll request again but I don't keep my hopes high. :(

@E K you got this! imo you should try again through a congressman. this process is really random, and i feel like it can depend on something as simple as which officer reviews the case :((

@orangecatbraincell . Congratulations!! Did you include a cover sheet as well? I expedited but never got a single response after I faxed the documents with the cover sheet stating that is for healthcare worker :(

@J C thank you!! and yes i used chatGPT to write a letter for expedite request for ead as healthcare worker.

@J C You can chat with Emma agent to check if they ever recieve your documents & whether it's under review or not.

@orangecatbraincell . thank you! yes, I will try with congressman this time. I had my Biometrics on March 22 and there has never been an update in my case status regarding biometrics. my status changed to "case transferred to another office" after I had my Biometrics. now I'm thinking maybe it has something to do with the rejection.😕

@orangecatbraincell . Did you get any email confirmation saying USCIS granted your expedite request on EAD?
