EAD - How to expedite

[Dave&Judy 3]

Hello VJers !

Thought to start a fresh thread on this.

Please share your thoughts/experiences on:

- How we can expedite EAD? What process you followed? were you successful in that?

- At what stage, we can expedite EAD, Filing AOS OR Once Biometrics done OR something else

Good luck with your 'Green' journey !!!

I would suggest after biometrics since that's needed before EAD approval. After that, just call USCIS and put in a request to expedite. They would probably ask for more info like job offer etc. If the EAD is past normal processing time, they might just approve.

I have read the links provided by moomin(thanks!) and still have few questions, please share if you have any advice or have done it in the past. I'd really appreciate it!

We have some financial difficulty right now because some of my husband's major gigs and projects (that were scheduled to happen this fall) are unexpectedly postponed to next spring.

I have an offer waiting for me right now. The company is aware of my immigration process and has decided to wait for me until I get my work permit. I am planning on approaching the congressman after my biometrics appointment tomorrow. However, we are wondering if contacting the congressman to expedite my EAD will bring us backfire in the future.(such as the GC interview); since it has not been 40 days after we sent out the package.

Thanks in advance for any ideas/advice/sharing!!

It won't influence the status of your I485, no. As far as I'm concerned, the I765 is at another location than the I485 and going to a local office if it's not there already. Local offices have their own "waiting lines" for interviews.

Hi EM31, Can you please tell me what you contacted the congressman with and how did that go? I am in the same boat as you are- trying to expedite EAD. Please help.
