Did you receive an approval for your Advanced Parole? it is a combo card EAD an Advance parole

 

DO you have any job offer? K1, F1, B2 entry?

Like I said earlier just the AP, not the EAD strangely.

 

Yeah, job offer on a K1. A very long and detailed job offer letter I might add.

Update per my last post. Now both AP and EAD show as approved. Think the new site updates overnight. Perhaps the day before they only managed to input one before heading home and did the other one the next day. So 41 days from submittal to approval. Side benefit: i think it pushed my AOS a bit ahead faster than normal. About a week after our expedite request it went to rdy to be interviewed, which i assume is the expedite officer glancing over our file and saying it looks ok to move on. Who knows. No other number near mine had gotten that far when i do a number search.

Timeline

Just got a notification that my card is in production!! Here is my timeline for reference:

 

03/19 - Expedite requested (financial hardship)

03/22 - Assigned to an officer for processing

03/25 - Requested further evidence via email 

03/26 - Faxed evidence using My Fax (cover letter, job offer, budget I made, bills that fit into the budget and husband's paystubs)

04/02 - Assigned to an officer for processing

04/03 - Received email confirming USCIS received my evidence 

04/10 - Status change: I-485 is ready to be scheduled for an interview

04/12 - Status change: I-765 card is in production (day 25).

 

A few notes: I reached out to my state senator, local congressman and an ombudsman for help. Did not hear back from the senator, but the congressman's office and the ombudsman was really responsive and helpful. They both forwarded the evidence along to USCIS for me too, and followed up regularly.

Nope my status is “new card being produced”, my understanding is that next update might be “card mailed to me”, not sure if that will have tracking number or not.. and from then onwards within a couple of days card in hand.. I thought you might have received some update in the status by now..

So I just did a refresh and it says -  Card was picked up by the United States Postal Service!

and we have a tracking number!

 

Yours should be any day now!

 

Paraj and Adrii, how long did it take you two to receive the 'card mailed' notification and how long did it take for you to receive the card in the mail in the end? Trying to figure out a ballpark date to tell my employer start!

Hi everyone,

 

I'd like to give you information about my expedite process so you can have an idea of how long everything is taking/what you get notifications for etc. 

03/21/2019: Requested to have AP and EAD expedited on the phone to USCIS (separate processes). AP of the grounds of "humanitarian reasons" due to my university graduation ceremony and a culturally significant role that my mother was taking part in during the ceremony. EAD due to a job offer and "severe financial hardship" due to obligatory student loan repayments in my home country.

03/21/2019: Received email: "Upon receipt of your request for expeditious processing, your case was reviewed and a determination was made that we need additional information to make a decision regarding your request. Please fax supporting documentation to 816-251-2290. Please include this notice with your fax." This only mentioned the EAD request, so I was unsure if AP was also being considered at the same time. Faxed documents that afternoon. I included a cover letter outlining everything that was included in the fax (I combined documents for both AP and EAD). DID NOT RECEIVE NOTIFICATION THAT FAXED DOCUMENTS WERE RECEIVED. I called USCIS a few days later to ask whether I would, they said I wouldn't heard anything unless the expedite was approved or denied. 

 

03/27/2019: Received "New card ordered" notification via email (and assumed approval). Did not receive official letters on this until a few days later and therefore not totally sure that both AP and EAD were approved. 

 

04/01/2019: Received "We mailed your new card" notification via email. 

 

04/02/2019: Received "Your card was picked up by the post office" notification via email complete with USPS tracking number.

 

04/03/2019: Card was delivered to my lawyer's office. Picked up the combination AP/EAD card in person on 04/05/2019. 

 

Hope that helps you guys with an expected timeframe, etc. My process seems to have been quite fast and straightforward. Although we have been using an immigration lawyer with all our forms, I submitted the expedite process myself on the phone. Let me know if you have any questions. 

Was it a combo card? I am in the same boat, Personal financial loss was the criteria that I used. 4/10 it stated on my EAD work authorization case status that "Your New card is being Produced".

 

 

****Edit. I just re read your post. Apologies.

One question that I do have for you all is about the two different websites.

 

My process:

F1 - STEM OPT - Married USC 12/08/2018. Applied for Adjustment of status Dec 31 - received Jan 2. Applied for AP expedite on March 28. 

My EAD online status just changed on 4/10 to "New Card is Being Produced".

 

My.USCIS.gov website - All four forms that I submitted state "We received your case - You do not need to do anything at this time".

egov.uscis.gov website - States that "new card is being produced" for my EAD (I-765), and "Your case is ready to be scheduled for an interview" for my I-485.

 

Q// Does anyone else have inconsistencies between the two websites?

 

I am hoping that I will receive a combo card, as I have read other accounts of no updates to the travel document portion of their online cases.

Mar 1 filed. Bio on march 19. Expedite request same day. Faxed 25th march. No response till now.

 

The financial hardship cat.

I hope I get something back soon.... I faxed my stuff on March 25 and all I've received so far is an email saying they received the documents I submitted. This email from Monday April 8 looks like the one they send you requesting the faxed information...this whole process is honestly so disheartening.

Did you involve your Congressman/Woman or Senator?

I applied for the expedite myself, and then also contacted my district's congresswoman.

UPDATE:

 

Got the email this morning that the New Card is Being Produced/they ordered it as of today. Yay!!!

 

Original expedite phone call was on March 14, 2019. 

 

I guess it takes about another week to actually get the card in hand?
