Hi everyone,

 

I'm here to share with you guys about my story about expedite request is success within 11 months from the day I submit the whole packages of application based on I-485 Adjustment of status.

Few things about my situation back ground - I'm used to an international student who came to the states by the F1-student Visa. Fortunately I found a full-time job right after graduation and working under OPT for a year. Then I got married with a US citizen and apply for adjustment of status I-485. My working permit at that time will be expired in 07/13/2018 and I do not want to stop working or get lay off due to the waiting time interruption.

 

Here is the timeline of what I do:

06/19/2018 - send the application to Chicago in USCIS by 1 day by FedEx.

06/20/2018 - USCIS received the packages.

06/29/2018 - received 4 USCIS tracking number by msg, and receive the actually mail in the next 2-3 following day.

07/01/2018 - requested to expedite my I-765 right away after I have the MSC#, the expedite request was on hold due to I have not done the Biometrics yet, and this is the final decision from USCIS.

07/13/2018 - my working permit expired. I have to leave my company and become inactive employee since that day

07/24/2018 - Biometrics (finger print) is done.

07/25/2018- call to USCIS again to request for expedite I-765 but they refused because the next expedite request has to be after 30 days of last request.

07/30/2018 - all my insurances and benefits (401K) that I had were cancelled ( So Sad)

08/01/2018 -  requested to expedite again due to severe financial lost for both myself and company.

08/06/2018 - received the letter by USCIS saying they need more info and provide fax number

08/07/2018 - Faxed to USCIS the explanation. Including: Cover letter, USCIS letter,  letter from HR saying all benefits has been cancelled from the date of job termination, letter from company saying they are wanting me to be back asap.

08/16/2018- USCIS updated my status as new card has been produced.

 

I'm so beyond happy that I'm able to go to work again because I love my job and my company. I was reading a lot of topics, comments online and most of them say that the expedite process is rarely success and lots of people fail to have their working permit as their time wish. I even went to the lawyer to consult about this and she told me she never heard about the expedite success and the 90 days is no longer apply. Both lawyer and USCIS told me that it takes 5-7 months to have the working permit and travel card. Guess what, it is totally 7 weeks (June 20 - August 16) for me to receive the working permit again. Don't loose hope and do whatever you can do to get it success. As long as you gather enough information and write a very sincere letter to USCIS. (the letter from my company is I wrote by myself and my boss signed it)

 

I'm also preparing for the interview coming up. Please share if you have any advise for me.

 

Thank you so much for reading and I hope your expedite process is successful!

Congrats and thanks for sharing your timeline!

I'm unsure who said you cannot expedite or that they are particularly hard to obtain for an EAD with a active job offer. These generally tend to be approved pretty often (although certainly not always).

Without an expedite, the typical timeline is about 4-6 months currently.
