Are there anyone out there who is expired and still waiting for the renewal to be approved?

Case submitted to Nebraska.
They received my package on Jan 7, did biometric on Feb. 2, and my card expired on Apr. 23, and I'm still waiting

I tried to do a service request online, and it says still within processing time, and I also call the USCIS number and the rep tried to do a service request for me but then told me it was within processing time, I asked if there is anything she could do, she said that there is nothing that she could do. What should I do?

How do I ask for level 2 officer? I already told the level 1 officer that my EAD is expired and she said there is nothing she can do.

Get your congressman involved. Go to the link below, enter your home zip code, and it'll list your congressman. Go to their website, search for something called constituency services (help with federal agency) and sign off on their release form so they can inquire with USCIS. Hand deliver it to them if possible or else mail it to their offices. Explain your situation in a letter, and provide the i797 Notice of Action letter photocopies in your package. They will assist you quickly. Good luck!

I'm waiting over 7 months just to get a replacement EAD card. The original EAD they sent me got lost in the mail in October 2014.

Hey @chicagodreamer23. I can somewhat relate to what you're dealing with. I sent my application in 2/17, old EAD/DACA expired 2/21, had bios done 3/20 and am waiting for a decision and am currently at the 3.5 month mark. Being processed at the TSC as well.

I have been really proactive about my case even while it was in "normal processing timeframe" and contacted Congressman representative (you can also contact the Senator). They have a special USCIS Liaison and you just have to be super persistent with them about your case even if they say they can't do anything.
Another thing you can do is contact the USCIS Ombudsman and file Form DHS 7001. They can also look into your case if it is past the normal processing time, but won't really do much otherwise.
Finally, an attorney I spoke to today said that you can schedule an Infopass at a local USCIS Field Office and tell them your situation and they may be able to look into you case but likely won't really do much.
I know it is so frustrating to wait and causes financial losses and job loss if your EAD expires and you just can't work until you get your new EAD or your case is approved. All I can say in your case just be constantly communicating with a congress/senator rep and don't take no for an answer especially with how long you've been waiting.

Thanks, I appreciate the info you provided. I will schedule an infopass and contact the ombudsman. I have not worked in 3 weeks but they gave me a month to provide a work authorization . It was a state job with amazing benefits so I will be super upset to lose that job.
