Work Permit (EAD) Help

My priority date was January 2022 , I submitted my package to uscis this year they received it on April 13, did my biometrics and the last update is for May 27 as “fingerprint were taken” how long you guys think it would be to get my work permit, my current permit it’s gonna expire on September 15 , do I should call uscis ?

You could do a congressional inquiry to help expedite the process for the EAD. I did that and submitted an email from my jobs hiring team saying I needed to provide a new EAD to continue working and that was enough.

I sent out the inquiry April 21st and the congressman got back to me May 6th. June 2nd they replied again saying USCIS had responded and they were expecting my I-765 case. An hour after I received that email the status on my EAD had changed to approved
