Yah was approved, waiting for card. Hard to say if the expedite was via senator or the fax.

 

what did you expedite based on?

Severe financial loss. my wife school will start next month so she cannot work i got job offer.

 

I called USCIS and made expedite request and after that called Senators office and explained situation, then they did send USCIS inquire.

 

Any idea how long will it take in this case ? 

[A&H2018 146]

One to two weeks. Id wait 5 days then reach out to senator again.

Cool. Senators office submitted on Monday this week my be will call them next Monday.

 

One more question is there a way to find FAX documents reached to officer or not.?

 

[A&H2018 146]

No way sadly. Very easy for your senator to find out though.

the other trick is to fill out an SR once its been 2 weeks...saying approval wasnt sent, sent evidence. Then they will have to send it to the officer.

Hi all,

 

I am attempting to expedite my case via 'financial hardship'. I have a job offer contract at the moment. Two questions:

1) Do i need to send additional info to prove my financial hardship apart from my job offer contract? (it states in the letter "fax evidence from your employer as well as evidence of your severe financial loss"). From what I read on these forums, I was under the impression the job offer would satisfy this. Just want to confirm.

2) Anyone had any issues with the fax number? I have been struggling to send the info across over the last few days. Keeps saying the number is busy. I called the USCIS and they said this is the only way to send the info across!! Very frustrating. Assume because the line is super busy.

 

Thanks!

To make a really good case for the expedition, I suggest adding copies of a red bank account if you have any. Also, do remember to write a cover letter explaining all your evidence. Hope this helps

Hi @A&H2018, sorry to be a newbie, but what's a SR and how do you file?

Service Request. Though thry are very busy, so more SRs get blanket responses these days. https://egov.uscis.gov/e-request/Intro.do

 

“Did not receive notice by mail.”

then, “Hi, I did not receive my approval notice in the mail yet for my petition. I called and initiated an expedite on XX/XX/XXXX and recieved a letter to fax evidence on xx/xx/xxxx. I successfully fax’d information on xx/xx/xxxx. Was told typically approval is sent 2 weeks after fax by infopass/phone officer.”

 

Something like that, has information is direct to point and makes it seem like they asked you to check on their process. Maybe then someone will care to send it to the officer, no guarantees worth a shot. Again senator/congressman best hope they can ask directly if the evidence was sufficient.

Other advice I have for people in the future. My congressman said sometimes expedite officers will care more if financial documents are included. So w2/full 2017 taxes/tax transcript...in case you did not send that stuff before. Also if you at “ready to schedule interview” send a screenshot or last communication on i-485 by uscis. Does this help, no one knows, does it save officers time again no idea. But that was his advice.

Wow, thanks a ton! Doesn't hurt to try and cover all the bases.

After I submitted EAD expedite request, my EAD online status changed to ‘fingerprint review was completed’, does that mean they will issue EAD soon or I should keep contact with congressman? Thanks!

Hey @VIN still the same. It has been over a week now but I have not heard anything from USCIS yet. I don't know if they have received it. Crossing fingers though. I hope they will grant my expedite request. I badly need the permit for my job.  Been checking my status online everyday. But what can we do, we'll have to wait.
