EAD I765 expedited - what’s next?

[laislabonita96 22]

Hi everyone, 

I have expedited my I765 last week over the phone. 
How soon after that does the status for my case number change?
It’s still on “being actively reviewed” since November. Should it have changed right after I spoke to USCIS agent? 
 

thank you all in advance

Hi all, it’s been over a week and I still haven’t heard anything from the USCIS. My case status still hasn’t changed to “Expedite request received”. How long does that usually take?

I wish you all the best but I'd like to help manage your expectations. For me, it took 3 months after expedite request to get approved (even with the help of a member of congress). I recommend you to reach out to your member of congress right away to expedite. Go to house.gov or senate.gov and once you find the member of congress that you wish to contact, go to their website and look for "help with a federal agency" and follow instructions. It will usually require signing a Privacy Release form and faxing it to them before they will help you.

 

Hint: Try to contact a member of congress who is up for re-election as they are more likely to put urgency on your request. At least that was my experience  The first one (Senator) is not up for re-election and they sat on it for many weeks. The second one is a Congressman who is retiring and their office called me 2 weeks later LOL. I got tired and contacted the Senator in my area that is up for re-election in the midterms and I got approved within 7 days of contacting their office.

Hi Any news? I also expedited based on job offer. Fax documents to NBC but no answers yet.

Just posting here to add my experience (or lack thereof).

 

I requested expedition on 02/14/22 through EMMA. I received the email asking for additional evidence on the 02/18/22 and faxed it on 02/24/22. The first few faxes did not go through, but eventually I got confirmation (from the fax machine, not USCIS). I've been waiting since then with no update or status change.

I have not. I called this morning to see if they could tell me whether or not the fax was received and all the agent could say was that the expedite had not been rejected, which suggests that it had been received (they said that if the evidence is not faxed after a while then the expedite gets auto rejected). I was told to call back after 30 days if I hadn’t heard anything.

Sorry to hear that. I called to expedite last Monday (03/07/22) and they said they would get back within 7 days but nothing yet. Let us know what happens! Thank you!

[laislabonita96 22]

Quick update for me. After following up on my first expedite request because I didn't hear anything after 30 days, I called the USCIS again and the agent worked with me to create a second expedite request with the same job offer. this time, I received an email asking for evidence, so I sent the fax and two weeks later I had my EAD card in my hand!   good luck everybody.

Update today that EAD card is being produced

I will add to help answer the question that OP had (in case others have the same question) that there was no notification of any kind between the email asking for additional information and the notice that the card was being produced. I believe others have had the same experience. After you send in the fax, you have to just sit and wait.
