I totally understand your physical pain from this process! Since most congressman give the 30-day response,  I think your congressman giving you a 5-7 business day time range is great news, which probably have to do with the fact that your fax is already with USCIS for more than two weeks.  

I'm trying to be as patient as possible but it's so hard when its literally all I can think about all day! And now after the ombudsmans email I'm nervous that we'll get denied anyway after all the waiting

Ombusman's response like that is normal, don't worry about that! Especially with the processing time changed into 6.5 to 8.5 months, they'll probably say that to a lot of people. Focus on congressman's message...

I guess you’re right. It’s good to have a place like this to come and vent at least. Thanks to you and everyone else for being so patient with my whining haha

I just got my EAD card in mail, and have a question for those who already received it. I examined the card and the information on it seemed right, Surname and Given name were correct. However, on the paper notice that the card is attached to, it puts my name as Last name first and Given name second, with no comma or anything in between. Is this normal? Since the instruction says this notice is needed when applying for card renewal.  Your insights please! 

I hope I am clear in explaining this, below is an illustration with a fake name:

 

On the card it says: 

Surname: CHANG

Given name: TIANTIAN

 

On the notice it says: 

CHANG TIANTIAN

Followed by my address.

Yes - totally normal.  So glad you got it!

And 30 min later, card in production! I'm in tears

Did it take you 22 days to get update after expedite request or after they received the fax?

22 days from congressman submitting request for me.  

 

Below is my detailed timeline:

Day 1: Concurrent filing received by USCIS

Day 22: Fingerprint walk-in

Day 32: Congressman submitted EAD expedite request for me

Day 37: Congressman forwarded USCIS reply that I will receive a decision in 30 days

Day 45: Senator submitted EAD expedite request for me; I also called USCIS to request expedite

Day 50: USCIS email request evidence

Day 51: Faxed USCIS evidence; Senator forwarded USCIS reply that case has been routed for expedite

Day 52: I-485 is ready to be scheduled an interview

Day 54: EAD Card in production

Day 59: Received I-765 and I-131 approval notice in the mail

Day 60: EAD Card is picked up by USCIS

Day 61: EAD Card received in the mail.

I am on day 26 of waiting since we called to request the expedite. Since this is a short week due to the holiday I'm not very hopeful that we will have any response over the next few days.

Ok here is a weird one.

 

I already have my AP expedite request in (31st May) based on financial hardship, as we have spent a small fortune planning a wedding in Spain in Sept. So not an emergency situation but an expedite. Since making the arrangements and paying non refundable deposits, the timeline for AP has almost doubled! Ekkkk!. I have my expedite underway and the senator's office has called USCIS to try and speed things up on our behalf and we are hoping to hear something in the next week or so after 4th July. 

 

The thing is I have now been offered a job. Should I fax that offer letter over and add it to the current expedite (using the same fax number) or request SEPARATELY to expedite my EAD, not my AP - as essentially it is the same card anyway. Thoughts?

I believe I have read on here that some people do both requests separately. If I were you I would call and request the expedite on the EAD and the go ahead and fax the job offer letter to the div/team information you already have anyway... what harm could it do?

I would do the EAD expedite separately (not mentioning the previous AP expedite). Many ppl have succeeded with job offer for expedite, but not many succeed with wedding cost for AP expedite, so I would just focus on the EAD (then you get the combo anyway)!

Done. So I now have my AP expedited and my EAD. Let's hope something works!
