Expedite Request - How long until something is reflected on the website?

[mattaco 0]

I hope this hasn't been asked a thousand times but I haven't been able to find the answer.

A week ago I submitted documents by fax for an expedite request for my wifes EAD after starting the process via Ask Emma (about a week before that). But nothing is reflected on the website.

 

Does anything get updated on the USCIS website? If so how long should it take? The case is at NBC, I'm not sure if that matters or not.

 

Thanks!

Unfortunately, there is no processing time for expedite requests.  You can Ask Emma again to check the status of the request.

So there won't be any update on the website? Not even mentioning the expedite request is received?

As I keep on saying timelines are all over the place, a few months ago my impression was that they were taking 2 months, but such a mess now who knows.

I think we're misunderstanding each other a bit - I know it can take an unknown amount of time until it's approved but what I'm asking about is do they update the case with anything to say the expedite request has been received (or in process etc). 

Or is that what you are referring to? As of now the case has had no update at all that an expedite request has been made.

You are only a week in, I have seen people notified, or not, if they start moving on your case that may be a sign, or just that it was coincidental.

Just had my AOS expidited- interview next week.

 

They never referred to it being received. Or to it being approved.

 

Just suddenly said 'Interview scheduled".

Thanks - that's exactly what I was trying to find out. I do love how they don't mind letting us stress over whether they actually have received anything in so many situations

Hey could you share some details of getting the AOS expedited? I don't think mine has taken long enough yet, but it feels like nothing will ever be moving forward unless I find some way to push it.

I did mine on financial hardship.

 

My particular field of work needs immigration status ( although I am in a period of authorised presence, I am an overstayer - this precludes me )

 

And Atlanta is at 38 months which would mean 2 more years if not expedited.

I just want to leave an update here in case it turns up in search and someone wants to know -

 

EAD Applied for October 14th 2022

Expedite request sent on/about June 5th

Contacted representative for assistance on June 14th

EAD Standalone approval on website on June 21 - however the case status has not changed as of now (June 26)

EAD approval letter received on June 26.

 

I normally have been checking the case status using lawfully - but since the case status has not changed, I was not aware of the approval until the letter arrived.

 

Right now I'm just waiting on my wife to wake up from a nap so I can tell her the good news I'm really hoping that the approval notice is enough to get her a drivers license, but AFAIK we should get the card in a couple weeks. I'm about to look up how long it takes for the card to be issued - the whole situation has been so stressful for the last few months that I've been only focusing on getting each step done and trying to ignore it otherwise.
