Hello, I am an F1 student on OPT and I just got married to a US citizen, so I'm going through the AOS.

I've been offered a job starting on September 1st, but I'm not sure I would be able to receive my EAD on time to start working, so I am unsure of if I should mention it in my application. My wife's income is sufficient to support us, so maybe it's better not to mention it? I plan on sending my application on Monday, would I usually be able to receive the EAD before September 1?

Listing future employment doesn't help in any way regardless of whether you will have EAD by that time or not. You might be able to receive the EAD before Sep 1, but not guaranteed. Can't you start working on OPT card from sep 1 if your AOS EAD doesn't arrive by then?

Unfortunately, my OPT status us expired and I'm now in the grace period, in which I'm not allowed to work.

you should go ahead and send out the AOS ASAP. Once you get the receipt number, you can send in your job offer to expedite the EAD. May or may not make it before Sep1, but worth for a try.

I actually just sent it last week. Waiting to hear now. How can I send in my job offer to expedite the EAD? Thank you so much for your response.
