Do you have any ties with PA? Mailing address perhaps?

No ties. We live in NJ and are residents of NJ. We got married in Philadelphia though.

That's pretty unusual. If you have a copy of the packet you send in I'd go over it to make sure you didn't make a mistake if I were you. Other than that I'd suggest you try to do a walk in biometrics at a ASC nearby.

May I ask what was your REF after the AED expedite?

They wanted an additional sponsor and a long-form birth cert of petitioner.

Was the additional sponsor it’s because of your Severe  financial lost ?

or You just needed a new sponsor even before the AED expedite case ?

because I was worried about expediting my case base on financial lost just because of them asking me to provide new sponsor 

please let me know

It was unrelated as far as I can tell.

You can't call, but plenty of people have walking in earlier (like me) or in a different location altogether with success. There are no guarantees in this regard, it's up to discretion of whomever is in charge at the location. So you won't know until you try. 

You're right! Just walked in at a different location and 10 days earlier than me appointment date. Just had to explain my situation and that was it! Do I just check my case status on here or is there a different place I need to be looking at? https://egov.uscis.gov/casestatus/mycasestatus.do

 

If that's the right place, my fingerprints have not been updated yet.

Not yet.

In my case that's my most reliable source. There's also https://my.uscis.gov but that one typically lags behind in status updates for me. 

Typically it takes a day before it shows that your fingerprints are taken.

Just went to Mount Laurel ASC (nearest) to try and get  possible walk in appointment. No go. Per the security they do not allow walk in as they are very busy. Probably explains why I was sent to second nearest ASC i.e. Philly.  Checked my packet, all correct there.

Yesterday I called USCIS to request an expedite of EAD. I got a reference/receipt number and was told that I will receive email requesting additional information from USCIS. Now I am waiting impatiently for the email ughhh

 

Also I didn't realize that when we filed for EAD and AP together, we would need to do the biometrics twice. I already did one this Monday and just got another mail saying I need to do another one two weeks later for 131.

That’s weird, I received a letter from them saying they will transfer the one I did 2 weeks ago into the Ap because that’s how they operate now and they applied it to my Ap 1 day after I got an email , text and an update on their website
