I also reached out on Emma to ask why my expedite would have been denied if I meet the criteria? Got the following response:

 

'I see that you made the expedite request. As you may know you met the criteria, however USCIS has the discretion to approve or deny an expedite after review. We cannot make another expedite for at least the next 5 days. At this time your case is still processing with the National Benefits Center. The general processing time is 8.5 months.'

 

The usual ####### then, might get a more favourable officer on the next request. It shouldn't be this luck based, awful system.

Irritated beyond belief. I got an email from USCIS today stating my i-485 will not be expedited for employment but that's NOT what I asked for I specifically requested my i-756 be expedited. The email stated "your case is currently under review and you will receive a decision or notice shortly" but we know that could be months.

USCIS are beyond incompetent, I'd file again as soon as you can maybe even citing "USCIS error". Got to throw ####### at the wall and see what sticks.

Update: contacted USCIS today and they said my expedite for my EAD is still pending and they will contact me within 7 days 🙃🙃 but it's BEEN 7 days since the application. It's ridiculous.

I've faxed 3 times and still no response yet, it has been over 7 days for me too (7 business days too). 😕

Well turns out today was a day of surprises. My EAD just changed to card being produced about 20 mins ago

That's great news. I wonder if enquiring with Emma helped move it along, I might try that tomorrow. Either that or keep spamming them with faxes. 😁

Congrats! What did you give as your reason for expedite? It's such a lottery right now, getting super frustrated with the process

Contacted USCIS this morning and got the expected "just wait longer" response, maybe I will get lucky with a random approval too. 🤞
