expedite the EAD process because of job offer?

[DiGr 2]

Is it possible to expedite the EAD process if you have a job offer? I just tried to call them and I asked for that. They said there is nothing I can do until the normal waiting has passed. I couldn't believe that. Does anyone try to expedite it? Does anyone have fax number to send and to prove that I got a job offer?

Thank you

Plenty of examples on how to expedite EAD if you use the search option on VJ.

You can do it (I did), but the expedite criteria is strict and requires you to demonstrate one of the following:

• Severe financial loss to company or individual
• Extreme emergent situation
• Humanitarian situation
• Nonprofit status of requesting organization in furtherance of the cultural and social interests of the United States
• Department of Defense or National Interest Situation (Note: Request must come from official United States Government entity and state that delay will be detrimental to our Government)
• USCIS error
• Compelling interest of USCIS

In my instance, which I'll admit even I thought was a real stretch, I claimed financial hardship because my husband had only found temp work on a week by week basis and I had a firm full time offer.

I also contacted my congressman's office, and to this day I'm unsure if it was that or the expedite request through USCIS that did it. Either way, I definitely didn't think it was going to work out, but it did!

Thank you so much for your reply. I submit all my documents early February together, I-485, I-765 and I-131.Then I got a rejection for the EAD application saying that there was no check or the amount was insufficient. I wrote them back and explained that there are no addition fees if you apply for the EAD concurrently with the AOS. One month later I finally got the NOA 1 for the EAD, one month later than the NOA 1 for AOS and AP.

Last Friday I already got the approval of the AP but no update on the EAD.

So I was wondering if that counts as an mistake by the USCIS because they first rejected it. I got a job offer and I am afraid to lose it. My husband and me are struggling with money because he has to pay child support for three kids and money is really tight.
