Not yet, but I guess I will try that next. Did you friend actually receive the card? If not, could you let us know when he receives it?

In addition to all the problems which affect everyone, there are two problems with not having biometrics done. 1) I might not be able to get the expedite approved. 2) Even if I do, people without biometrics have not, from what I have read, actually received the card.

I will keep you posted. He hasn't received any notice to get his biometrics taken when the ASCs open next Monday. But his case was approved last week, so it still might be a few weeks until his card is shipped going by recent timelines from USCIS.

Congrats! Hopefully they will resolve the printer issue somehow!

When you requested your expedite over the phone, did you mention that you have not completed biometrics yet? Did they mention biometrics at all? Trying to figure out why some people get denied immediately if no biometrics, while others get the request for evidence email.

I had previous biometrics on file that had already been applied. I have been living in the States for 10 years now, lost count of how many fingerprints they have taken.... Have you tried raising the request through your senator? One of my friends recently got approved the second time after being denied for fingerprints after approaching the Senator’s office.

Timeline for I765 so far:

Requested expedite over phone- 07/07

Received email asking for further evidence to support expedite- 07/07

Evidence faxed-07/07

Heard back nothing and was afraid they didn't receive the fax, so resent all evidence- 07/10

"we approved your request for expedite processing" email received- 07/13

That just means they approved the expedite not the case, right? Any idea what to expect in terms of timeline after this update? I did read that Washington Post article about printing delays so expecting a long haul anyway.

i think the window for them is 15-20 days after receiving the evidence.

Thanks for the info! Everything is so opaque with immigration. 

Hello everyone, I applied for an expedite of my EAD over phone, citing Compelling US government interest. 

Timeline:

07/07: Raised a ticket to expedite with person who picked up my phone!

07/07: Got two emails asking for additional evidence to support my case

07/07: Sent additional evidence via xmedius cloud fax

My case status hasn't been updated online. Nothing else from USCIS to confirm they have received my documents. Are they not updating the expedite requests online? Can I call to confirm receipt of documents

(This is based on a marriage to USC based green card pending for 70 days, no biometrics for this application yet, since all ASCs are closed.)
