Thank you for this! I had been waiting to hear back about my expedite request for a few weeks and just decided to call my congressmen today. 
 

I’m a little nervous, how did your call go? Did you call the Washington office? Did you just make your case to whoever answered the phone?

hello. one of his staff answered the call, i told him that i need assistance for my expedite request and he asked me if i have filled out their form...and i said no LOL... which means my previous e-mails were useless. haha. but they are helpful enough to assist me...they asked for my e-mail address and sent me the form.. i sent it back to them along with supporting docs.. then they forwarded it to uscis. 

 

i would suggest to call them asap.. not e-mail so you would know what's the next step to do. im from California btw.

I was just looking also for our congressman.

i found on their site something online.

but is a section where to attach documents.

you think if a do a letter explaining the reason should be enough?

 

thank you !

So I just received my biometric appointment letter in the mail, mine is the portland field office. Has anyone done an early walk in and got successful? I'm considering doing an early walk in but I'm a bit nervous.  My date on the 4th of Oct

no harm in trying. worst they can do is turn you away. i did a successful early walk-in even in a different state.

That’s awesome! 
 

I made a request the same day as you and so far this is my time line:
 

august 24th request made 

 

august 25th contacted congressman office

 

September 1st congressman’s office called me 

 

September 6th- I phoned USCIS to ask status and they had said no updates but records showed it was assigned to an officer on august 25th. 

 

September 10th congressman submitted inquiry to the USCIS/ NBC. For the EAD. 

sept 14th- called congressman and he had Informed me he has submitted on the 10th and was waiting for a response.

It will work and they will take you in if there’s no one waiting in line for the appointment 

my appointment was yesterday and the timing on the appointment letter was 3 pm, but they took me inside at 1 Pm and I was doing in like 10 min , it was a seamless process. FO- Riverside, CA 

Goodluck 👍🏼👍🏼

Thanks! I hadn’t heard much from USCIS and they didn’t ask for evidence up front but I got my congressman involved and he submitted an inquiry and evidence for me. 
 

I based off school. I need my EAD to get my social to set up student loans because I had been using my savings but I’ve used my savings up etc. anyway I said if I don’t get my EAD I can’t work to pay for my nursing program and I’d be forced to stop and that was my case and I guess they didn’t mind the reason! 
 

definitely happy I can continue nursing school!
