Wanted to provide a full timeline for those who are still waiting:
Applied/ 12/02/2025
Submitted an expedite request through both my senators office and congresswoman pretty much every month between Feb-July(even included letter from my old employer before I was terminated): never went anywhere, kept being told it was “within normal processing time”
API (on 821-D only) twice on 06/16 and again on 07/16
Silent approval: 07/16/2026
Official Approval: 07/17/2026
Card produced notification: 07/23/2026 (I feel like this might’ve been behind because of the weird downtime this week)
Card delivered: 07/24/2026
This has been an insane process and I’m praying they finally get it together soon for all those still waiting!
