EAD expedite process for AOS

[kt1221 0]

Hi,

I am currently on F-1, married to an American citizen. My wife and I filled for my AOS application last month on August 19th (i485, i765 &i131). I received my Biometrics notice on 11th September with an appointment scheduled for 23rd September 2014. I completed my biometrics and am now awaiting my interview date, EAD and AP approvals.

Meanwhile, I have a job offer from a company and would love to take up that offer and start working. I have read several blogs regarding expediting my EAD process, so just had a few questions and would greatly appreciate your help on this matter.

1) If I call USCIS and give them a Financial loss reason and tell them I have a pending job offer will my case be expedited?

2) Do they ask for supporting documents (such as offer letter ) ? If yes, what are the documents which may be needed?

3) If this method fails can I contact local congressman to expedite the process? In that case, what are the document proofs required?

4) Does anyone have any sample letter which can be addressed to the Congressman or USICS to expedite the process?

Note: My case is being processed at the Nebraska Service Center, will be great if anyone has any insight into the timelines specific to this service center.

Thanks!

My husband expedited his EAD for work. He had to explain why it had to be done NOW/why the job couldn't wait (long-term financial loss; he's an academic jobs start at a certain time every year), provide a full offer letter that included the required start-date, and an explanation from them as to why he needed to start then.

After gathering the documents and making the request, he called our congresscritter and asked them to get involved, as well (which required a permission form and another letter). He had his EAD inside 10 days.

Good luck.

I don't know what they consider "severe" but if you have sufficient evidence you can certainly give it a go.

Thank you Kehillis for your quick response. Do you know how much time USCIS gives to submit additional documents after I give them a call to expedite the process?

Please let me know.

We'd done our research on expediting ahead of time (thanks, VISA Journey!) and had everything available immediately, which was good, because they wanted it right then. I don't think it necessarily underscores "needed now" urgency for expediting if you don't already have the paperwork together.
