Any update on your case?

I just got my approval notices for EAD + AP so I'll most likely never know what happened with my expedite or service requests. I can say that they still show no signs of having been looked at, but like many on this forum I might superstitiously associate today's approval with the expedite request. ;)

 

Total number of days for me was 126 days. Well over visajourney and uscis processing time estimates.

 

I agree that fingerprinting should not block EAD/AP. If you lawfully entered the united states you were 10 printed the first time you came in by CBP, so DHS and the FBI already have your fingerprints.

My experience trying to expedite at MSC / NBC has been poor.

 

Firstly, don't use the online system as suggested on this thread. The online system only lets you raise an SR. An SR is not the same thing as an expedite, and you don't want to raise an SR. You can only expedite by calling them, by mail, or through your congressman. SRs show up on the 'Next Steps' part of the USCIS case checking system (right side), Expedite will show up under 'Case History' and will have a code like T1D...WKD or similar, presumably standing for Tier 1. SRs look like SR..MSC, for example.

 

I raised an expedite request on 1/2 and on 1/3 they sent a request for more information through regular mail. They didn't email or call me even though they had all the details required to do so. The letter arrived on 1/9 and it asked for more supporting information, providing an "Attn" line for the team handling my request, plus the fax number. I faxed my supporting documentation with a cover letter on 1/9. On 1/23 (2 weeks later) I called USCIS again. They said they have no record I even faxed the documents! I faxed them again yesterday.

 

The expedite process seems to be very 'hit or miss'. I wish you the best of luck with it.

I am in the same boat. I raised an expedite request on 1/2. They emailed me to a wrong email address because they made a typo! So called back and they emailed me again on 1/10. Finally faxed.

 

Now one month later, still nothing.

 

My employer just gave me ultimatum today after 1.5 months, I thank them for their patience.

Interesting...I believe this usually is the case, but is there a reference for your claim?

 

I got my EAD/AP combo card, with "fingerprint not available" written on the lower right corner, and my fingerprint appointment is next week.

Wow, I did not think this was even possible as I have seen people whose EAD got stuck due to missing fingerprints.

I was not allowed to ask for an expedite until I did my biometrics. I did a walk-in and put in a service request asking for an expedite as soon as I left the field office.

How did you put the service request ? Did you have a job offer?

I am currently at day 50 for my EAD still waiting can i do a service request?
