I thought most companies won’t hire you if you can’t work legally... Very sad, we are having a tough time too !! Very ridiculous 

I've had 9 interviews so far. Started applying for jobs in April. It's all about how you phrase your situation at the interview and you emphatically state that you do not require sponsorship, and you're "waiting for your EAD which should arrive soon."

I am curious that what kind of job you apply for ? If you don’t mind to tell;)

I apply for every job I qualify for on Indeed thats in my City. I have a Bachelors, a Masters and other certification, so I apply for every job I see on Indeed that closely aligns with my qualifications and experience.

I say this as respectfully as possible, but with a master's degree you still haven't found anything?

 

I only have an undergrad (and it's in English and Spanish....lol) and I will have to start looking soon, and now I'm afraid I won't find anything either!!!

Na don’t say that, you’ll be fine. Have faith.  I like to believe what’s for me is for me, and the right job will come.

Just got my email that my interview for Permanent Residency was scheduled guys. I find it really strange that that happened one day after I contacted my Congressman, who knows. Keep the faith. March filers are getting there little by little.

Googled who my Congressman was and went on the website. Then spoke to a member of staff about my issue. They sent me a privacy release form and asked me to provide proof of either financial hardship or job offer whichever comes first. I did just that. I don’t know when my interview is. Seems like the letter should arrive soon with those specifics.

Hi It's been 115 days I filed, still it shows Ready to be scheduled for interview. Should I wait until 120 days to reach out to congressmen or can I go ahead?

Also I was on H1B for past 6 years, and now i dont have a status except Pending i485, still can i ask for expediting with financial loss documents?when I asked my lawyer he said I don't have a basis for expediting.

He is not sure about my field office too.

Totally frustrated, applied for loan and they gave only half of what I expected though I have excellent credit score.

Badly need job asap.

How to find my field office and reach out to Congress men? 

Any help would be truly appreciated

Your lawyer is a moron. When did you leave previous job? Was your h1b active when you applied for AOS? Are you interviewing? Married to USC?

I was just about to say your lawyer sounds like an idiot.  Use the link below and search for your congressional representative. 

 

https://www.govtrack.us/congress/members

 

Contact them via phone or their website and they will give you all the help you need. Just tell them you need help with your present immigration situation. Produce all the documentation to support financial loss. Late payments notices, overdue credit card, job loss/termination letter. Whatever you can because the burden of proof is on you but you can do it.

Yes, I regret filing through him. Yes I was on valid H1B when I applied AOS that was in March 2018, my i94 with H1B ( full 6 years) got expired on  April 30 2018, until then I was working.

Will pm you, sounds like my lawywer who I fired.

oh, also a heads up to those planning to expedite- Regardless of your Congressman, this is the new universal Privacy Release form that I've attached. 

I was told by the Congressman's office that if the old form is sent to USCIS, they send back the new form for you to fill out and return, which adds DAYS to your request for expedite- a luxury many of us cannot afford. 

Please make sure they give you the correct form.
