EAD - Texas - I-765 - Employment Based Approved
After 12 months of waiting my EAD card was approved today. I expedited in November after loosing my job and it was denied. Last week I got an job offer and expedite again and this time it was Approved.
PD date March , 2nd 2021. NIW. Texas. SCR2190177…#Ead #Texas #765
Finally ER approved
Hi, I am sharing the expedited request experience for my H4 EAD here hoping that it can be useful to others. I am a scientist with my research focused on cancer and autoimmune diseases. I recently moved to the US, and applied for my very first standalone H4 EAD on 17th Sept 2021 at California Service Center. I immediately started looking for jobs too. Fortunately I received a job offer in Jan 2022, just after USCIS announced that they will consider the expedited requests for healthcare EAD renewals. I explained to the employer the whole situation, asked for the supporting letter too to make my case stronger. The employer mentioned the following points in the letter - why they wanted to hire me, the project deadlines and how my research would benefit them and the patients too. So, on Jan 25th raised the first ER. On Jan 26th, I got a response to submit evidence. Complete silence after that. Raised another ER on 17th Feb to followup on the original ER. At the same time, I contacted Sen. Diane Fienstien and Sen. Alex Padilla to inquire about my ERs. Today, after more than 30 days my ER got approved. I am now waiting for my EAD. Hope it helps.#ead #expeditedrequest

Can agents check expedite request status submitted by congressman?
I asked about the status of my expedite request for ead that was submitted by congressman and agent said they don't have access to that information. How else can I check? I asked congressman's office but they just said we're waiting for uscis to reply. My request was submitted 3 weeks ago and still no update from uscis or congressman's office

L2 as work-authorized - No EAD needed
On January 31st, CBP implemented the annotation of L-2S in I94 of L spouse to people entering the US. This makes an L spouse automatically work-authorized and doesn’t need EAD to work. Do anyone with recent L2 approval from USCIS got this annotation in your I94?

EB-3: Concurrently Filed I-140, I-765, I 485
Hello. I have filed I-140, I-765 and I-485 concurrently at the Texas Service Center. They have received my cases on September 14th 2021. Done with Biometrics On October 29th 2021. After that On December 30th, 2021 "Case was updated to show Fingerprints were taken". After that nothing yet. Do any of you have any idea how long it might take for me to get the EAD or GC? Thank you in advance! #EAD #I-140 #I-485 #Concurrent filing #GC #I-765
Any July EAD approvals? Please share your experience.

Thank you God!
I’m very thankful for this community and your support!
Posting this to help others and to give you hope!
Whenever you feel you want to give up please keep pushing
My timeline:
RD 02/19/2021
12/03 SR for out of normal processing times and they replied saying keep waiting 39 days later
12/03 Expedite request over the phone based on personal financial loss. Denied 30 days later without asking for proof.
01/17 Expedite request through congressman based on personal and company financial loss. Expedite request denied on 02/04. Provided company supporting letter and bank statement. No cover letter.
01/17 Reached to Ombudsman and they replied on 02/10 saying they have a backlog and haven’t been able to reach out to USCIS
01/20 Expedite request through senator. They reached to USCIS and USCIS never replied
02/02 Tier 2 Agent callback. Requested by me over the phone with agent. Took them 20 days to call me. They will email you 2 days before the call. Keep your phone next to you at all times. Ask if your case has been assigned to an officer and you can also ask status of expedite requests among other things. Agent said I would hear back about my expedite request in 2 days and she was right.
02/04 2nd SR for out of normal processing times. No response
Called USCIS every day for 3 weeks. Side note: learned that tier 1 agents don’t have access to see the status of expedite requests raised through congressional offices/ senator
02/10 Reached again to congressman (4 days after receiving the response from USCIS saying my expedite got denied). I lost my job because my extension expired so I decided to give it another shot. Drafted 27 pages including more evidence. Expedite request was based on personal and company financial loss Congressman reached out yesterday again to USCIS and received response today saying my expedite request got approved.
Status changed to Card is being produced 2 hrs after that.
Update:
02/18: Card received!!
Lessons learned:
Expedite requests from congressman/ senator work! Congressman are usually less busy and takes them less time to raise the expedite request on your behalf than Senator.
I spoke with a tier 2 officer in an online seminar and she said multiple expedite request won’t delay your case. If you have an urgent reason to expedite do it, if it gets denied keep pushing. Try to include more evidence and explain your circumstances in more detail.
I know the process and the waiting is very overwhelming try to keep yourself busy and keep pushing!
I hope you find this information helpful and that your case gets approved soon!

My I765 was approved on Feb 3 and the status still says approved. when it is likely to change to "New card being produced"? Is this timeline unusual? My service center is California.

i765 expedited request pending ...
I have submitted an expedited request on Tuesday (01/25) under the healthcare worker category at the California service center (CSC). On Wednesday (01/26), CSC requested documents to support my request, which I submitted on the same day. After that I have not received any further communication from USCIS or status updates on the USCIS website. I thought USCIS would make the decision on the expedited request within a week or so, but that doesn't seem true :(. Any idea how long does the CSC take to approve/deny expedited requests these days? #ead #i765
EAD card is being produced today - combo card?
My wife and I filed for AOS, I-131, and I-765 in October 2021. Biometrics in November 2021. Then we decided to try and expedite for my EAD a couple of weeks ago. Today they changed the status of the I-765 to "Card Is Being Produced". The only thing is, I don't know what kind of card I'm getting since we sent our I-131 and I-765 in different packets (we filed the I-131 with I-485 a week before the I-765). At this moment the status of the I-131 is "Case Was Received and A Receipt Notice Was Sent". Both went to the NBC, so I don't know. Does anyone know anything about this?
Edit: The Notice of Action doesn't say whether it's a combo card or not, it just says EAD.
