Can I expedite my I-765 Processing Time due to My wife pregnancy

[Peterpaul216 0]

Hi All,

I applied for Adjustment Of Status and work Authorization (I-765) from B2 Visitor visa. I have an already approved I-30 before applying for the Adjustment of status. The I-485 and I-765 was received on 01/27/17 and NOA also sent to me on 01/13/17 through email and regular mail. I am now waiting for my Finger Print appointment. However, I am thinking of seeking for expedited processing on my I-765 (Work Authorization). This is because my wife, who is a U. S Citizen is pregnant now and her due date is coming closer. She is the only one working. I am not working because I do not have work authorization to work. As She might soon stop work as her pregnancy nears her due date. If she stops work, I am wondering how we can pay our bills since I am still waiting for the Work Authorization to be approved. This is to say that it has become paramount for me to have a work doing before she stops work and prepare to put to bed so as to enable us take care of our family bill.

 

Please, can I use the above reason to seek for expedited processing for my I-765 (Work Authorization) ? I am really confused if USCIS  will see this as an urgent/cogent reason. Any useful advise from the members will be appreciated.

Thanks!

You can ask for expedite after you have done the bio.

 

You need a written job offer. But what I have seen it's not much faster to expedite then just wait the time. Often it looks for some to take a bit longer if they had just waited. Your timeline for applying was not thought true. You have to counts on 90 days from they got it IF no RFE/RFIE's that is. 

 

But you can always ask for the expedite.

Sure, you can request it, and there's not a drawback to doing to so. There's no data to suggest that requesting an expedite would hurt your case in any way. That said, I'm not sure if they would approve it. I think the severe financial hardship would be the best approach at it, though. Having an active job offer is the most common expedite reason that I see here.

 

Good luck.

So you have a job offer and just waiting for your work authorization? Getting work authorization doesn't mean you get a job just means you are authorization to work. So what would be the expedite reason.

 

You would do better to hustle and get looking for a job and have an offer to present to USCIS so they can see you not having authorization would stop you.

 

Your EAD could come anywhere from 3/27/17 and past that.
