Where to address expedite request for AOS?

[Messybrownhair 251]

Hi again,

Tim, my fiance is scheduled to mobilize soon, and we are filing for AOS this April. He already has a letter from his captain requesting for an expedite for my case, in his behalf. I would like to ask where do we address it to? The only address I have would be the lockbox where we send it to?

Also, I was wondering about the EAD that we can apply for once we enter the US on a k1 (if we apply for it before AOS), is it worth it? I already have a potential job/s lined up in Texas and they just want to know how soon I can start, I told them it would probably be around June, which they are fine with, but I was wondering if it was worth it to apply for EAD right away, will it take 2 months to come to me? I know my i-94 is only valid for 90 days.

Grrr. we should have done the cr-1 route! lol.

Would appreciate any response! Thanks!!!!

I would have your fiance call the USCIS military helpline and expedite it that way. Dont know how much faster it will make the AOS, but im sure it will make it faster.

I would say to do the same as you did with the K-1, but the military helpline is there to help military out...even to just ask questions and talk to a human being instead of the endless automated menus.

You can file for an EAD while your I-94 is still valid, but it would be pointless because the EAD will expire when the I-94 expires. It's a waste of the filing fee since you'd be able to work only a few weeks, at the most.

File for the EAD when you file for the AOS. There's no additional fee, and the EAD will be good for one year or until you get your green card.

Thank you! I will take your advice, and just cross my fingers that my employer can wait. Luckily I go by the school system so they really shouldn't need me until around June or July anyway. Thanks!

And I will call the military hotline too regarding the expedite request.
