Hi!
I got my EAD approved recently, with an expedite request through my Congressman's office and would like to share that experience with you. Going through your representative DOES work.
I also tried requesting it through USCIS, but that didn't work (I read they reject around 95% of requests).
As supporting documents, I submitted an offer letter and an additional letter from the company that made the offer, stating how important it was for them to hire me (e.g.: training resources, staffing requirements).
Please find below my timeline:
09/10/2017 - Petition filed with USCIS
09/25/2017 - Received filing receipts
10/14/2017 - Biometrics appointment
11/01/2017 - Got a Job Offer, asked for a supporting letter stating why the company needed to hire me right away
11/09/2017 - Contacted Congressman office via phone and sent documentation
11/10/2017 - Congressman staff requested expedited EAD via e-mail to the congress liason
11/18/2017 - I-765 Application approved
11/26/2017 - EAD combo card received in the mail (with Advance Parole)
Hope this helps. To find your congressman go to https://www.govtrack.us/congress/members
