Just because I'm not eligible to vote and don't yet have a GC in hand doesn't mean I can't find the number for Congressman's office and call it.
If it were illegal for them to help me then I would not have received help.
And I don't see why you have to reply with such a condemning tone, I posted my experience so that it might help someone else who needs to expedite their EAD but reads all the other posts on these forums saying it doesn't work or they should not request an expedite because it will slow down their case even further.
Like I mentioned above, 7 hours after my expedite request was submitted by the Congressman's staff I received the Card Production Ordered' update.

To everyone who applied for EAD based on AOS and qualifies under expedite criteria, I just want to let you know that you do not have to wait 60 or 90 days to request it.
I want to share with you what I did and what worked:
I first called the USCIS Customer service (April 29th 2010)and put in an expedite request. They created a service request and said they will get back to me within 45 days.
On May 6th I received in the mail a letter from USCIS dated April 30th stating:
Due to the high volume of expedite requests for this case type, we are strictly enforcing the criteria that has been set for these expedite requests. While your situation appears serious, you have not provided evidence of an extreme emergent need
I was never issued an RFE and had no idea how to send my supporting documents.
On May 7th I sent a fax to my Congressman's office asking for assistance in Expediting my pending EAD application.
I included a Letter to USCIS explaining my situation and why I qualified, my evidence/supporting documents, copies of NOAs for I-765, I-485 and Stamped Biometrics Appointment Notice.
I then called the Congressman's office and spoke to the member of his staff who is responsible for immigration matters.
He told me that he could indeed help me with this request and will update me every step of the way.
7 hours later I received an email from USCIS stating "EAD Card Production Ordered". I logged in on the USCIS website and saw that my I-765 was updated from Initial Review to Card Production Ordered.
