How long does it take for a reply- Expedite EAD
Hello all,
I applied for an expedite November 5- no answer, then I reapplied 2nd of December and now they tell me to wait 30 days again for a reply. Is this considered an expedite at this point? Totally disappointing. What’s your experiences? thank you!

Andr - you may or never receive anything from USCIS about that, as they don't process all expedite requests.
Look up #expediterequest in the app. you'll find a post titled, "How To: EXPEDITE REQUEST". I detailed my experience in that post. good luck.

@y k AOS marriage based, NBC
Lilo PelekaiDec 6, 2021
y k - ok. then it is the waiting game again. only USCIS decide whether they accept to expedite cases or not. they do so at their own discretion. but in any case, I do hope you receive some good news soon! 🙏

I did by myself an expedite request for my EAD on November 19, 2021. I received an email from USCIS for further evidence November 29. I sent it December 1rst and my EAD was approved on December 2nd, 2021. Now I’m expecting for my EAD this week.

y kDec 7, 2021
@ John k how did you raise expedite request..did you receive an email from uscis for expedite request documentation? or whether they accepted or denied expedite request
y kDec 7, 2021
@ lilo...how does uscis handle expedite request do they let us know accept or denied or status gets updated...too many different stories I have seen here...mine was raised on Nov 19 for financial hardship termination of job..no email came to provide documents
Lilo PelekaiDec 7, 2021
y k - they're supposed to let you know what action they take with the expedite request, like the other cases. but usually, if you hear/see nothing it means that the request is still pending, e.i. no officer has picked up the request yet. once the expedite request is assigned to an officer, you do receive updates. those updates include instructions where to send more information/documents, or whether they accepted or denied the request.
y kDec 7, 2021
@ liko this is annoying it's been more than two weeks and no officer assigned...it s an expedite request meaning attention required asap..
John kDec 7, 2021
@y k I went to uscis chat option on their website and talked with an agent. I requested them to expedite my case based on financial hardship and I explained my case to them and they put in the expedited request. The next day status got updated to expedited request. They didn’t request any documentation from me. They just updated my case to New Card being produced yesterday.
y kDec 7, 2021
@ john k share your timeline...I raised expedite request via calling and no update
John kDec 7, 2021
@y k I put in an expedited request on Nov 16 and got status updated on Dec 6
