Hello All,

 

I filed my AOS application on May 24th - still no update on EAD. We are expecting our baby in September. Is there a way I can request USCIS to expedite my work permit?

 

Thank you.

You'll need to provide evidence of sever financial loss...such as a job offer of some sort. But, personally, having a baby without employment seems to be a sever financial strain as well. I'd call the customer service number as well as contact your local congressman and see what you can find out/get done. 

 

Good luck!

It appears as though you are right :-( I just checked the Tip Sheet for EAD. It says the clock will reset on the date they receive the information they need.

 

"To determine whether your case has been pending more than 75 days, you must consider the following:

• If USCIS issues a request for initial evidence, the 90-day regulatory timeframe will start over from the date USCIS receives the initial evidence.
  • For example, if your case is pending 60 days when USCIS issues a request for initial evidence, and you respond 30 days later, the “clock” will be reset to Day 1 on the date USCIS receives the evidence."

I have seen other posters say that the request had no impact on their EAD, only the I-485. I guess I will find out either next week when my initial 90 days passes, or 5 Sept when (if!) I get my response to my SR. I will update everyone on here.

 

For info, the case status on my EAD never changed the whole time that they were seeking initial evidence, only my I-485 status changed to show they were awaiting initial evidence. For my I-485 I've been 'ready to be scheduled for interview' since Jun 29. In fact my EAD status has been the same ever since it was created ('case was received 24 May')

Well I think it's more like if your at day 60 then they request, you day are halted until they receive the request and then your resume to say 61. So all the time in between is paused.

Thank you.

Your baby is your job offer, literally!!

Just call USCIS, and request to expedite. Choose Emergency and financial loss, reason? having a baby (You can say things like your wife will not work for a while, and the baby expenses, ...etc).

 

I honestly dont think u even need to contact ur congressman, having a baby is a good reason for them to make it quick

Hey All

 

So today I'm on 91 days and I called a tier 2 officer this morning to ask why I have not recieved my EAD, well as usual they are not sure but to add to the pain he could not put in a second service request as the first one I did on day 75 is still pending which I wish I had not done as they apparently mainly look at the ones over 90 days, so I then have to wait till the 21st to send an email to this Service request department. I guess the only good news is that he said my case is ready to be scheduled for an interview but it does not show up online so I have no idea what to go on.

 

With regards to normal RFE I had the first tier 2 officer tell me about 2 weeks ago it didn't affect my EAD but then today I got told it would have so again do they even know what's going on.

 

if anyone has advice for the EAD that would be great.

Hello gsedg44,

Same situation here with same received date! I am on 91 days too. I have put SR on day 76 so now I have to wait until August 20 to get the reply. Many cases are not updated these days and it really stresses me out. I have to go check the mailbox many times a day lol I will try to call them today to see what they will say about EAD passing 90 days.

Thank you for your update!

Hi Pimmpj

 

Its very frustrating, let me know what they say once you have called them on your end and see what our options are.

Hi my fellow april/may filers! hope everyone is good...so a little update on my status..remember that long wait on the bio apt which took almost 2 months wait after 2 service request and an infopass...well guess what im scheduled for interview next month! yay! received the letter yesterday. no updates thru email/texts, the app nor the from uscis account...so thats it...

my question now is that my ead/ap hasnt moved at all...and im on the 106th day. should i ask for service request by this time? or am i still within time frame?

another one, i didnt include the i693 form in my application since my medical is within the year time frame so its not yet expired. i did attach the vaccination record. should i be worried? should i go get a civil surgeon to update? or wait it out til interview. cause from what ive read, one dont need the i693 as long as the medical is within timeframe. but then again its case to case basis...so a little confused here...and i also didnt receive any rfe regarding it  so right now im thinking im in the safe zone? id really love to have inputs from you guys. thanks! you all have a great week!

Hi @OBGYNKENOBI. Congratulations first for getting your interview schedule! unfortunately, I'm still waiting for mine.

 

Regarding your EAD/AP, you could have raised an SR when it reached 75 days. it's not too late to raise, however, if you receive your GC before your EAD/AP, then there's also no use. you may still try though to have more options.

 

Can't comment on your I-693 because I didn't submit one for myself. hope the other folks can help you. all the best!

[papasmf 90]

@OBGYNKENOBI I wouldn't worry about the 693, we didn't include it either.  If your interview is ready to be scheduled, it sounds like they've already looked over all that

 

yeah id submit a SR about your EAD/AP

 

that worries me about not getting updates, what if our mail was lost in the mail and the online system isn't updating?  We still haven't heard anything about anything since May 3 on all 3 applications, other than having done biometrics on June 1, I really hope we hear back soon

Did you request to expedite AP or It was approved with your EAD?

Everything was in normal timing no expedite services. EAD was approved on Aug 4th  n AP on August 7th. Expecting a Combo card.
