Just an update - On May 20th i called up USCIS and submitted an inquiry into the EAD and AP, since it was day 75. The next day, i emailed my senator and asked them to help me out. I was going out of the country for 10 days.

Got the text updates on May 21st as the flight was on the runway about to take off that the EAD and AP were approved! Pretty wild. :-)

I really think it was indeed the senator and not the USCIS inquiry that helped. Thanks to all those who recommended i follow that path. I would highly recommend to others that they reach out on day 75 too.

Came back to the US yesterday to find my EAD + AP card in my mailbox. Feels great. :-)

My local office is chicago, so i imagine it's a long wait now for the interview.

Congrats!

We are getting close to day 75 so most likely following same path. What did you count as day 1?

Does anyone have a sample letter of what to write to senator? Or should we write congressman? Is it worth also opening an inquiry with USCIS, I am hesitant since they are so adament you cannot inquire until 90 days?

Thanks!

Your NOA letters (Or the website) will state a "Receive Date", which is what i used as day 1.

I would agree that the USCIS inquiry is more or less useless.

USCIS actually responded to my inquiry with a letter saying that i was basically within the 90 day processing timeframe, and so they could not do anything. Funnily enough, this arrived on the same day as my EAD card. :-)

I'm fairly confident the Senator's staff had something to do with my approval.

For the format, i just stated my receipt numbers, dates, and asked them to check into the status of my application.

I'll try dig up what i sent.

No word yet from USCIS... got all the required documents (on standby) the IO suggested I should have ready in-case there's a request for additional evidence. I still tried calling over the phone to know whats up with my I-765 since it is over 75 days. I called twice and each time I was asked to wait till the 90 day for a decision to be made. well, that will be on Tuesday next week. I need to go find me a new hobby. Maybe I will get a Guitar for a start.
