Pending EAD (with AOS from K1) but employer wanting to hire ASAP

[PilsenC 33]

Well that's not as helpful as I was hoping... I thought it was just if he had a job offer then we could ask for an expedite.

You can do it with a job offer. If you have a letter. I saw a lot of people here in the forum.

Try for Financial loss.

try.

How can we do that!? Is that something we can do on the phone with USCIS or is that more paperwork?

Call USCIS call center and place a request to expedite.

They will ask you a reason - put # 1, "Severe financial loss to company or ​person​". They will give you a # of your request (Referral ID).

Within 5 days (or so) you should receive a email or regular mail:

"Type of service requested:

-- Expedite

The status of this service request is:

Upon receipt of your request for expeditious handling, your case was reviewed and a determination was made that we need additional information to make a decision regarding your request. Please fax proof of your financial loss, such as proof of a pending job offer, to the following number: 816-251-2290, Attn: XXXXXXXXXX. Please include this notice with your fax. Documents should be submitted with an official letterhead"

I faxed my pending job offer along with a Cover Letter, where I explained why it could be my financial loss.

It took 2 weeks to receive my EAD after placing the request to expedite. It was worth it. At least it doesn't hurt to try.

Good luck!

It's been 58 days since his biometrics and 91 days since they received the AOS package. Based on those averages you've linked, we're outside all of the timelines unless I've mistaken something.

You probably would have approval by now but the RFE stalled your process. All you can do is wait. Hopefully the RFE is been looked at and reviewed and the EAD released soon.

If you haven't already put in a service request. You can do it after day 75 of EAD processing time. I put one in on day 82, and it was approved two days later and I had the card 5 days after that. It could of been a fluke but it cannot hurt to try. You can do it over the phone or online at the USCIS website.

That 11-12 days that the RFE took should be added to the 90-day processing time. It's a toss-up, but you should probably try for the expedite with a job offer letter like it was explained above by Ksenia_O.

To update everyone.

We called and put in a service request for the case. The next day I checked the website and they had sent us the interview notice for the AOS, and then a couple days later, they approved his EAD.

Thanks everyone! <3
