EAD expedite questions!

[EmilyTim 3]

Hi everyone!

 

I have a few questions about the EAD expedite process. I received a job offer at a university a couple of days ago, and called USCIS to open an expedite request case.

I am hoping it will be expedited under the category of financial hardship as my husband (the US citizen petitioner) is a full time student with an income under the poverty guideline. 

 

Over the phone, the USCIS staff gave me a new 16 digit code (a mix of numbers and letters). She told me I can check the status online, but I can't find out where to put this code?

 

My other question is: if I am successful and receive the expedited EAD card, will I also be granted AP at the same time?

 

Apologies for my timeline - Iife has been hectic and I've lost track of dates!

 

Thank you in advance for your help

Emily

If you need to expedite AP that would be done separately. Seems you only expedited EAD?

Yes, I only requested to expedite EAD  I have no real reason to expedite AP.

But I've read on some forum posts that the EAD and AP are a combo card?

The normal process results in a Combo card.

We expedited my husbands EAD based on job offer. We did not ask for AP but were issued a combo card. We never used the AP, though.
