I submitted an expedite myself on June 21st. The email i got today says they are inquiring about my EAD status.

Well hopefully you hear back soon! Most people I've seen on here seem to wait about 2-3 weeks before their status changes to new card in production.

I don't know what is the criteria. Some people get within 10 and some are waiting for 2 months. So far it has been less than a month since I submitted expedite request. Fingers crossed

How they are processed is a bit of mystery, however I do think that by me calling to chase it did make a difference. I initially filed to expedite my AP.  Heard nothing, then I requested to expedite my EAD and the very next day my senator also called to enquire on my behalf and we finally got notification of card in production the following day.

Around 3.5 weeks in total. Full details on my timeline.

Hopefully i hear something soon. One of my offer no longer stands as they waited for 4 months. And i have one potential job interview next week.

I wish chasing it down would work for me haha. I think the opposite has happened. I’ve called and faxed so many times that they are making me wait longer as punishment.

Nothing yet bu I called USCIS yesterday and the rep was actually pretty helpful. She took down notes of our situation and the fact that its been over 30 days since we requested the expedite and said she was going to flag the case and we should have some sort of response within 5 business days. It's sort of a standard response but at least its something.

When i call them, all they ever tell me is we will transfer you to tier 2 and then it goes to voicemail. And i never hear back. This is so frustrating. I am still under 30 days since I started on 21st. I received email requesting documents on 25th and they sent email on 27th saying they received the fax.

Mine is divison 5 team 1. What about you?

I've been reading this thread for a while now and want to now contribute by adding my EAD expedite timeline (got a notification that card is in production today!!)

 

I am adjusting status from F1 (marriage based) and my OPT is expiring on 7/9. I've been working on OPT since last summer and requested EAD expedite based on financial loss from lost wages as my employer has to terminate me on this coming Monday but is willing to take me back when the EAD issue is resolved.

 

5/6: application packet containing I-130, I-485 and I-765 delivered to USCIS Chicago Lockbox

5/10: NOA 1

6/3: Biometrics Appointment at local ASC

6/14:  Requested expedite of EAD based on severe financial loss to person by calling USCIS. T1 representative opened an expedite case

6/20: Case status changed to "We sent a response to your request to have your case expedited "

6/26: Received evidence request by USPS snail mail (not sure why I did not get an email instead)

6/28: Faxed evidence to USCIS including pay stubs, notice from employer that they have to terminate me, statement of student loans, and current lease as well as a cover letter quantifying a dollar amount of financial loss due to lost wages and discontinued medical coverage

7/1: I-485 status changed to "RFIE was mailed" (wasn't expecting the expedite to go through after this"

7/5 afternoon: RFIE letter arrived asking for birth certificate (of which I had sent two copies with the original submission, go figure)

7/5 evening: I-765 status changed to "Card is being produced"

 

I did not involve a congressional representative; however I did put a lot of effort into crafting my cover letter and I think that with a valid job offer in hand that can go a long way.

 

Good luck to everyone still waiting to hear back!

 

 

 

Can you tell me your division and team?

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

Finally!

 

Just received the E Mail to say the card is in production. How long does it usually take to arrive in the mail?

 

Check my timeline for how it happened.

 

Interestingly my Senators office called USCIS an hour before to chase the second expedite and BANG within an hour the card was in production!

 

Which division and team had you faxed your documents to?

Yeah I'm division 5 team 1 as well... I wonder if it's the same for everyone... I've never been transferred to a tier 2 officer though. The first person who answered me yesterday helped me out. Every other time we call though they just say there are no updates and they can't do anything for us. Yesterday was the first time someone has actually done (or appeared to) do anything.

I have seen some people assigned to division 5 team 2.

Faxed AP expedite documents on 6/6/19 to 1-816-251-2290. Addressed to: LA0795, Div 5, Tm 3.

I heard NOTHING from this initial expedite. It was only when I called to start an expedite for the EAD, did it get approved.

This also coincided with same day my senators office called for an update too.
