Dear Oceana you are not the only one Lol... filed at the same time as 6years and Tampa as well. So at this point I say USCIS do whatever they want. Our files are probably being used as coasters lmao

Others can correct me if wrong... but I am under the impression you need to be at 75 days from first submission arriving in Chicago - or 30 days following approval - to easily get thru to a tier 2. You submitted an expedite request a few days ago... Not sure what else you can do except wait. Or get demanding. Unless they gave you more info when you submitted your request?

You can request that you get transferred to a tier 2.

I got an alert on my case tracker early this morning saying status has been changed on i485 and i765 but when I opened it I still see case received.Is this some error messages or they really worked on my case and am yet to get the actual notification? Today makes it 87 days and haven't gotten Ead approval yet

You should of filed on day 75 for upcoming 90 day Work auth, and they would expedite your case. you should be calling tier 2 asap, and maybe contacting ombusmen.

Nah, I filed at the start of March and still not approved. I've done a case inquiry and spoke to a T2 rep but nothing yet - they said to wait until the 8th June for the case inquiry to complete.

I know the feeling very well. I cried this morning when I saw my status had been updated.

It will be updated soon, I'm sure!

For me, the service request hasn't been very helpful. I opened one on day 76 and was supposed to have gotten a response by today but haven't gotten anything. I'll have to give them a call tomorrow because my EAD has now taken more than 90 days. I'll let update you after I call tomorrow. Hope they are faster with your service request than they've been with mine.
