Hi everybody,

 

Quick recap: filed AOS after coming in on a K1, have receipt # and NOA1. Interviewing now and hoping to get my EAD expedited through it.

 

I successfully interviewed for an organization in MA, their policy is they sent me what they call a 'contingent job offer letter' that clearly states 'This offer is strictly contingent on the successful receipt and completion of the below items'

 

The items being:

 

A. A complete background check.

B. A complete driving record check.

C. Proof of auto insurance is required.

D. An education verification form. 

E. DCF CORI form. 

F. References

 

Should I try expedite my EAD yet based on this job offer letter? Or wait until A-F are satisfied and get a 'cleaner' letter?

 

Anybody have experience with this?

 

Additionally: Number B is requiring me to provide my US drivers license #. I have my road test planned for June 3rd (have prior obtained US DL so not worried about it), but my I94 expires on June 9th. My learners permit was made valid until June 9th also, and Im expecting my DL will then also expire 6 days after I obtain it? Don't know how to fix that?

 

Love to hear everybody's thoughts as always!

Please explain what you mean with 'actual' - they have given me an actual job offer it is just contingent on a background check. So would your suggestion be to wait for the less contingent job offer as I am guessing by your reaction?

As long as you've done your biometrics, expedite as soon as possible and don't wait for other extraneous employment-related tasks. Not worth it, your expedite probably won't be completed before they've already completed all of those tasks anyway.

Probably can't fix it until you get the EAD....

Depending on different companies' policies, there could be considerable difference between a contingent job offer and a formal written job offer.

 

Here are the USCIS expedite criteria.  Does your request meet the criteria?

Good luck on your immigration journey.

Completed: K1/K2 (271 days) - AOS/EAD/AP (134 days) - ROC (279 days)
