Hello,

Hoping to get some advice... my husband was fingerprinted on Friday, December 4th after waiting for nearly 7 months so almost 2 weeks ago. He started to work on his resume and today just to go see he went to interview for a pretty good company. They offered him the job pretty much on the spot but my husband told them that if there was any way they could wait a few weeks as he's waiting to receive his work authorization card. He honestly didn't think they'd offer the job on the spot and wanted to just get out there to interview. They asked if he had a social and he said yes but that he couldn't work with it until he received his EAD. They said he only needs his social and he explained that he can't work until he receives his EAD but would love to work there and if they could possibly wait a few weeks. My husband then called me and asked if there's a way to perhaps expediate the EAD as he has a job offer? Is it even worth submitting to expediate if he had his fingerprints done 2 weeks ago and just wait for him to receive the card hopefully soon? We are doing everything the correct way but we wanted to see if we should just wait and if so what could the ETA be on the card? Or should we submit an expediate inquiry? Advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

If he has a reason to expedite he can certainly try, it is going to take time even with an expedite.

He should have the company write him an offer, and then request to expedite with USCIS. The offer letter letter can be submitted as evidence when requested by USCIS. You should also follow up with a call to your Senator when you receive a service request number from USCIS. Don't wait! Call USCIS today and request the expedite.

I would ask for an expedite with job offer.  There is no harm in trying.

I asked for an expedite based on a job offer. I included the job offer itself, my resume and a letter from my then soon-to-be-boss. It took a little more than a month but the expedite was approved. There really is no harm in trying. 
 

During these times it might take a little longer than a month but honestly it’s better then waiting 6 months or more.

Job offer supports whatever the main reason is.
