Request to expedite adjustment of status

[Freckles21 1]

Can I put a request to expedite my AOS cover letter in front of my packet and mail it together? Or do I have to mail the AOS packet first and then do the call in after I get a receipt number or whatever?

What would be the rationale for an expedite?  I haven't heard of that before.  People can expedite EAD with a formal job offer, but I haven't seen an actual AOS expedite.

Then as previously mentioned,  you would expedite the Employment Authorization

So you've already been working in the US?  And you have an EAD?

No, I’m still employed in Canada and on Maternity leave right now. I’m in the US, got married before the 90 days and now have to adjust my status. I’m hoping to get my whole green card expedited.

Even expedited, it will take a while... 😕

I know  but ill try anyway. I only have 8 months till I need to go back to work. I just need to provide as much evidence my work provided as possible and hopefully it'll be enough.

@Freckles21 USCIS has granted requests to expedite AOS under extremely special circumstances. I know of two cases. One was a high school student who got admitted to college and needed to be a legal permanent resident to accept thousands of dollars in scholarship money. They reached out to a US Senator/maybe Congressperson and just like that, within week of filing for AOS he got his green card. Another one was a researcher who needed to be a legal permanent resident in order to accept a federal grant. I do not know of any successful requests to expedite marriage based AOS petitions. 

 

In your case, you do not need a green card to do what you intend to do. You just need the I-131 Advance Parole, but you may request to expedite both the I-765 and I-131. That way you will get a combo card. Right now the processing times for the EAD is 7.5 to 10 months. 

 

Are you able to do your work remotely? That's another option.

I am just afraid that with the Advance Parole, theres a chance they may not let people back into the US from what I've heard. 

 

No I can't work remotely, I work in a Hospital.

I do not know of anyone who's had issues re-entering the US with Advance Parole. You can search through VJ. It's pretty standard to use Advance Parole.

How long is the Advance Parole valid for?

I think you are OK to be outside of the US for less than 1 year. *I think* You could always re-enter several times. 

How long are you planning on being outside the US? 

Either way, your best option is to request to expedite Advance Parole. I would do it along with your I-765. That way you get a combo card.

If comes down to the wire, you can always request emergency advance parole. But that costs ~$550 I think, https://www.uscis.gov/green-card/green-card-processes-and-procedures/travel-documents/emergency-travel Scroll down to emergency advance parole documents.

I’m only going to be away for 6 months. Oh I see okay thank you for the information. I’ll definitely look into it. So should I send my AOS stuff first than expedite it or can I send a cover letter with my evidence along with my AOS?
