 w00t w00t! Congratulations you guys!  @DMLA , @Pritzz , @Ninatica if you don't mind me asking, what are your local offices? 

My local office is Alexandria Va.

That's really interesting. Did you have a specific reason to call the congressman?

 

In any case, I just researched this a bit, and you are not the only one going this route. Every congressman and woman has a "Help with Federal Agencies" page on their website. However, mine makes really clear that they only help if time is of the essence or if I have been treated badly. I might wait another week or two and if I still didn't hear anything, I will try that route.

 

Thank you for the idea!

My husband had read that contacting a congressman would make the process of expediting a lot faster so we decided to try it and it worked. He wasn't transferred to our actual congressman but a "Constituent Representative" who works directly under him. Technically you do have a time limit if your job is supposed to start in a few weeks, so I'm sure they'd be helpful if you decide to contact them.

Remember time could vary based on the office. so don't worry if it takes u longer

My office actually has much longer than average wait time between biometrics and interview (based on VJ data). So I am pleasantly surprised.

Am I the only one who hasn't had their biometrics appointment yet?  Almost 2 months now. No appointment yet

Hey guys, I don't post on here very often but I'm a march/april filer.... 

This week I received notice that my EAD has been approved (see signature for full timeline), thought I'd update you guys, although there are still a lot of early march filers who are yet to hear an update on their EAD, hopefully this will spread some positivity amongst you april filers that the time is getting close for it to be the april filers time to get their EAD approvals

Did you receive an update on your USCIS App or a NOA to confirm that your EAD was approved?

So K1 visa holders are also required to do an interview?

Your case in particular gives me hope that may be they wouldn't be as slow as they usually are, here in the bay area local office.  

 

@DMLA @Pritzz @Ninatica Thanks ! Good luck for the rest of process.

Since I am getting a bit panicy, I followed your advice and went to the local field office of our congressman today. It was a super pleasant experience! While they can't guarantee anything either, they will use their special connection powers to inquire what's going on and push along the expedite request if possible.

 

Fingers crossed!

Thank you! No, my EAD is not approved. It still says "Case Was Received".
