My EAD expired on 9/4 and I still didn't hear back from USCIS. I did everything I can think of (expediting case through USCIS, Ombudsman office, NILC, reaching out to Congressman office), but still to no avail.

I did just realize that the receipt number I put down on the biometrics form is off by a digit, but not sure if that was material.

Also, I will be traveling by plane next week and I'm not sure if this is doable given that my state ID has expired. I called the airlines and they told me that I can get by TSA if I show my SS card and another non-expired ID with my photo (college card/work badge). However, deep down, I'm still a bit hesitant because I'm flying from coast to coast and if they reject me, I might have to take a bus back .

Any advice?
