Hi please did you get a combo card when you expedited or just the EAD? Also would you say the congressman was helpful in the process? I sent a request and faxed evidence to have my Ap expedited as my father is terminally ill. I'm hoping they approve and send a combo so I can at least work and travel to see him. Also did you place a call to the congressman or what it an email on their website please let me know. Thanks 

Yup, it came as a combo card. I requested to expedite my EAD only though. So I was able to travel once I got it. I'm not sure how helpful the congresmman was because I was attacking USCIS at every angle. I was working on the senator, the infopass, and the USCIS customer care. And my husband was on the congressman. I read from a blog a past USCIS employee wrote that all congressman requests are bumped to the top for review but I have also seen people here say that the congressman didn't help. My theory is it doesn't hurt to try. I initially called and asked who to talk to. The lady told me to write them an email. None of my emails were ever replied to but she always picked up the phone and spoke to me. Eventually, my husband pretty much started calling her every day but to be honest, I think it took her like 2 weeks from the time I inquired to the time she actually contacted USCIS. Maybe she did help with my expedite, but I can't say for sure.

Today I received email/SMS notification that my card is in production. I expedited with assistance of my congressman's office on the basis of severe financial loss.

 

I had a very nice job offer in hand, and my wife and I had a lot of bills piling up. I submitted a copy of my job offer and bills to USCIS, and a written letter explaining my situation.

 

Dates/details in my signature.

My apologies, I just wasn't sure since some people were getting interviews before their EAD so I was a bit confused haha.

 

Once again congratulations for being done with this process!

I was hoping we would start to see some more movement for EAD's...only a couple in this thread have them.

[gsedg44 13]

Day 82 still waiting for EAD, called and spoke to a tier 2 about SR but apparently it takes 15 days for them to be able to view it, how true that is I have no idea. Any other May filers on VJ waiting for their EAD?

[millrbrit 46]

If you look in the April thread for the AOS, the EADs are flooding in. The processing times on visa journey, which are based off of poster's data, say that people up to April 20 are getting their cards.

So, we're next!
