Hey everyone, 
Just wanted to update here regarding my EAD. After freaking out waiting for a response since November 7th, today I finally received approval!
My expedite request was denied because apparently they were already reviewing my application and the application was approved as a standalone EAD (no AP).
In the meantime I had contacted my congresswoman (her office was pissed that they've been ignoring a request from a healthcare worker!), not sure if this was what triggered the approval but I'm really really happy it happened! I will start my new job in 3 weeks after finishing all the paperwork needed! So relieved!
I also have a new "note" under my AOS now saying they're reviewing my RFE (sent in September 2022) - not sure if this actually means something but happy to wait now that I can work!
 
Good luck and timely approvals to all still waiting!

Thanks for reaching out @Artuicune
As I said in private, I agree with others here that chances of expedite being approved in such a short timeline are very slim. If not backed by a strong evidence (and/or compeling storytelling) listed in USCIS' list of expedite categories, most likely will be denied.
I, myself, am a healthcare worker (biomedical researcher), I have a job offer for a very specialized and highly regulated FDA position and they are just basically ignoring my request. Beyond being a healthcare worker, it's base as well of financial loss (almost 5 months AOS without a salary is a third of our family's income - I used to work under a H1B), also the company can't hire anybody else because it's a very specialized position, they are losing literally millions and research that could be saving lives is being postponed, still USCIS doesn't give a(removed)! 😃 
I wish you best of luck on your travels, wedding and future application - but don't keep hopes too high about actually starting this job anytime soon.

Already did all that, still waiting on a reply back since Nov 7th. 

Hey everyone, 
I'm doing AOS, married to USC, PD 08/12/22 and anxiously waiting for my EAD since I have a job offer on the table since September (healthcare worker - tried expediting but denied).
For a few days now my account says EAD "any time now"
I understand VJ predictions must be taken with an *Ocean of salt* but in your RECENT experience (family based EAD applications from early/mid 2022), have you received your card withing the predictions of VJ?
Please share if you expedited your case, cause it seems like it has been mostly expedites or "auto" approvals after bio lately! Thank you so much for your input!

Seems like it's a new update available to all pending I-131. Reddit had a lot of people asking about it last week. 
 

Unfortunately no news yet. 
I submitted my expedite request on Nov 7th - as healthcare workers qualify for the expedite. Once it reached 30 days without a reply, they've escalated it to a tier 2 officer to call me back - I've received an email saying that they might reach out through text, email or call but dead silent since. Last time I called they said to wait another 30 days before making another inquiry. 
 
It's very frustrating to be honest! I have a job offer pending for several months now and no way to know when I'll be able to start. 
 
Wishing like a little kid that Santa will gift me an EAD for Christmas

Sounds exactly like how mine went! I was in and out in 15 minutes, my cases also got updated to actively being reviewed immediately after.
 
I know what you mean, I was on edge right after thinking I’d get the EAD the same day but I guess not 😅 good luck to us all for real! 

My husband had his biometrics yesterday and today his EAD status changed to Card Being Produced! 🥳 We filed AOS on Aug 17 and haven’t expedited anything. 

I'm hoping to get my AP approved soon as well.. I really wanted to be able to go visit family! 
Hope yours get approved soon LemonLemonade! 
 
I received a text this morning confirming they received my RFE response, my bios appointment is next week. 🤞

Haha yes, here's hoping too! So far silent on my front besides having everything in active review. We sent in the I-864 RFE reply today - added a joint sponsor and I resubmitted all of my sponsorship docs, including an updated I-864. I wanted (needed?) to update the I-864 anyway, wasn't sure if I needed to resubmit the birth certificate / tax transcripts but did so out of caution. Hopefully, that should be it! If I notice something missing when the documents get scanned into the portal, I'll upload it right away, as I think that's what happened last time.
 
Good luck to everyone else here!

A little update on my side, my EAD ONLY got approved (status: Card being produced). AP, no update since received documents 😞 
 
More waiting then!

XD hope so and I saw a lot that got approve right away were mostly EAD only (I think?) and the one that took longer, MIGHT get combo card? I hope getting combo card for us all lol

Hi everyone!
Not sure if this would be the same forum for me, seems like most people here are adjusting from K1.
I (beneficiary) have been here in the USA in a work visa (H1B), got married to USC and we filed I-130 online on 8/12/22 and sent in the AOS package (+EAD+AP) via mail on 8/24/22.
Have my biometrics scheduled for 9/21 in Seattle WA and today received a RFE due to missing one document (W-2) on I-864.  I-130 is in Texas and AOS is at NBC. 
I'm excited that so far it seems like things are moving (someone has to have taken a look at our file to notice docs are missing, right?!) but heard Seattle is currently one of the slowest offices in the country! 
Fingerscrossed and good luck to everyone!
