I wanted to highlight the resources available if your case is out outside of the processing range posted on the Uscis website (https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/) 1) You can reach out to your congressman/congresswoman, who can send an inquiry to the USCIS about your case. They will receive an answer back. This may be the same information you already know but worth a try. You can find your congresswoman/man here: https://www.house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative 2) You may also reach out to the Ombudsman office. https://www.dhs.gov/topic/cis-ombudsman Typically, they deal with cases past processing time, cases with errors, cases where an individual is in removal processings, cases involving emergencies and hardship, and other reasons (please refer to the full list thru the link). EDIT: currently, they may only deal with cases that meet other criteria besides just the processing time delay.

the hero we all deserve

aww thanks, but I’m no hero. just in the same boat!!

so the professing time is 10 days plus my receipt date what do you think I should start with?

quick question. I applied for a renewal for EAD ( my first EAD expired years ago and I ended up being out of status for years ). things have now changed and applied I possibly have a job offer , also still within processing time but I have quite a bit of debt. do you think I can expedite the request ?

.

anonymous, you can ask congressperson to inquire, but 10 days is a little short. I’d wait a little

Vee, I’m not sure, you’d have to look at what they recognize as reasons to expedite. Probably best to discuss with a lawyer or the employer’s lawyer

I recommend to try contact congressman it’s very helpful

That’s good to know, Justin. did you find out anything that you didn’t know before contacting?

no I found everything after my case got approved after contacting congressman, infopass the whole process took one month

that’s amazing !

ok can anybody answer my question how do i go about contacting congressman will they ask for me to send in proof? and what is the difference between expedite and talking to your congressman is it the same thing i dont want to sound dumb but im honestly soo confused

what will the congressman ask for?meaning by my information

no, it’s not the same thing. expedite request is done thru uscis. a congressman just asks uscis on your behalf about what’s going on with your case, why it’s taking so long. They just need your info and the case number. and address

ok thanks @katie k ok what do i ask the congressman or what do i tell him

whatever you want to know about your case

thanks
