Thanks for your detailed timeline.

Congrats on your EAD and AP! 😁 May I ask how you backed up your expedite request? 

Sure! My sponsor is a dentist here in California and the CDA (California Dental Association) released an advisory a few weeks ago telling dentists to only perform emergency procedures. At the same time I received a really sizable job offer, and then I used that to claim both financial hardship due to my sponsor’s reduced work schedule, and financial loss due to being unable to accept the job offer. I also wrote a cover letter talking about how me being able to work would cause a positive impact in my local economy and help stabilize my family, etc.

 

I also faxed them the letter, the RFE request, the CDA advisory, and my job offer a total of 9 times over 4 days.

 

All in all I’m really happy this did the trick, having the EAD is a huge quality of life improvement and a relief. I’d be more excited about the AP if it wasn’t for COVID.

Hi! I received my EAD yesterday even though the delivery was scheduled only for Saturday (tomorrow).

 

I can't speak to the SSN as I already had one (I worked under my previous visa) and so did not have to apply for a new SS card.

 

Good luck!

Oh Gotcha !! Well thanks !  I’ll wait on it and see. 
 

So @beefmaster I submitted and requested expedition on Friday and today I got the approval ( so a week ). I’ll keep you updated on how long it takes them to Change status.

Thank you, and congratulations on it being so fast. I am confused about the logic of how they approach the expedite. I have had mine approved since May 14 and have had no movement on it. 

 

Was your I-485 "Ready to Schedule for Interview"? Mine has had no update since April 1st when they confirmed receipt of my RFIE response (for something that we already submitted with our original filing nonetheless)

Thank you . I would give them a call and see. 
I-485 has not changed since I Initially submitted them . Is that supposed to move alone with the EAD?

 

Keep me posted ! Good Luck

I have no idea :). I am just trying to work out why my expedite is taking a long time whilst others is going quickly. I guess its pointless to think of such things with USCIS. 

 

I am mainly stressed about this because I only have a few days until I lose my job
