Hey guys!

 

I submitted an EAD expedite over the phone today based on severe financial loss and a pending job offer that I’m wanting to accept.

 

The person I spoke to had me make a statement explaining why I wanted the expedite and said they would attach this to my request and that I should hear something back by Feb 24, and that the request will expire in 30 days..

 

Has anyone else had this experience? I asked if he needed me to fax through my job offer or any additional evidence and he said it may not be required and just to wait until Feb 24 🤔

 

Also big congrats to everyone in this thread who successfully received their expedite 🥳

On the phone, they will take down your request information and pass it on to an officer who will make a decision. "It may not be required" means that the officer who's assigned to your request may deny you based on what you said on the phone without asking for any additional information. 

 

This is normal, they don't ask for anything on the phone other than your reasoning. They don't adjucate anything themselves.

Hello Everyone,

 

I requested to expedite my EAD card on Friday 15th based on the fact that I have a job and will will be terminated if the current EAD expires. The next business day they asked me to fax letter from employer and I did. However, in difference with others here they didn't ask for general documents or evidence they specifically asked for employer letter that support my claim. I send it in through fax twice and it went through right away to NBC. Also on the email they included the specific number number agent number division and team number. They also requested that I include their email with the employer letter that I faxed in. 

Just how the officer chose to word it, since you presumably specifically said that you have a current job on the phone and they just want to make sure it's the truth. You can fax additional information if you want, but if that's all they want to make a decision, you're free to only provide what's requested.

Hey guys!

 

My EAD request was received by USCIS on 11/30/2018 and it's almost been 90 days and there's no update. My attorney submitted an EAD expedite by letter on 2/10/2019 based on severe financial loss and a pending job offer that I’m wanting to accept. I have also contacted a couple of senators but it takes them 4-6 weeks to process my request. 

 

Any suggestion on what should I do now? Should I call USCIS directly? 

 

Thanks so much!

Did they ever send you verification that they received your documents?

My attorney said they won't send verification.

They probably won't, but you should be able to check that the request was received and that the request has been closed, meaning that they assigned an officer and the officer asked for more information from you (odd phrasing, I know). 

 

Then it's up to them to update going forward. They may not update it at all until it's "approved/sent card" or "denied". 

 

I feel you on the government people. I sent a request with all information and proof to my congressman the day after I opened a request with USCIS by phone, and 1.5 months after I got the expedited EAD, I got a letter from the congressman office asking for "more information". Useless. But others had better luck.

I just called USCIS in order to ask information regarding my expedite process. They passed me to Tier 1 then the 2 and then a 3rd one called me back. The only thing the officer said to me is that it is USCIS policy to make a decision in 45 days if they haven't decided the expedite has been deleted off the system and a new one should be submitted. That's what he said to me.

I think you get an idea here you can call them in order to ask and verify the information he even read the exact policy part and number to me.

Okay thank you, i guess they've received my documents but just haven't started reviewing or maybe they just didn't send a mail.

When you applied for the expediter and after you faxed in information did you receive an email confirming that they have received the information you faxed ?

Hello Have you gotten any email back like the one mentioned by the other people that they received your information or anything like that. Or have you seen any change in your case status?

No I haven’t received an email or letter and there hasn’t been any change in my case status

Did you also recently file for an expedite?

Yes I did on the 14th. They requested that I send them a fax and I did. I have called them twice and as always they don't have much to say to me.

When did you get asked to send a fax?

I haven’t been asked yet. I’ve also called a few times and I get told to keep waiting lol.

I think it’s pretty standard after the fax to expect to wait a few weeks. Hopefully you hear something soon!

The next business day they requested me to provide them with evidence for my case and I did. However, since then nothing has changed and nothing is different

How did they request it from you, was it email of by mail? Super frustrating it’s been over a week since I requested the expedite and they still haven’t asked for anything
