Well yeah, that’s one of the criteria to expedite. But you need to be a bit more specific when you’re talking to an agent on phone or through Emma.

 

In my experience what you say right then is the most important, and determines whether your expedite gets approved or not. 
 

Make sure you have some kind of proof, just in case they ask. Good luck! 

Hey, thank you very much

Hey everyone,

 

Has anyone successfully applied for their driving license? Wondering what documents you provided? My I-94 has expired but would showing NOA1 for AOS be sufficient along with foreign passport, bank statement letter and social security letter?

 

I live in Connecticut if that helps!

 

Thank you to all

I live in GA, and was just there yesterday. 
 

Check your specific states DMV requirements but what I took was: 

 

Social security card 

EAD 

My i485 notice of action 

2 pieces of mail for address verification

Passport 

Bank Statement for address verification 

 

hope this helps!

Hmm the problem is I don't have my EAD yet and was wondering if I could some how bypass bringing this in with the other documents you stated

Hmmm, that might be a problem. But go with your i485 NOA and other documents i mentioned and hopefully they accept it. 
 

the website is a little confusing!

Every state is different.  In WI we can't get until AOS is approved.  Here is what you need for Connecticut:  https://portal.ct.gov/dmv/licenses-permits-ids/get-a-drivers-license-ct?language=en_US

Hey thanks for the replies regarding the license guys

 

I just wanted to let everyone know that I’m assuming my expedite got approved as my case changed to ‘card being produced’ on the tracker! 
 

Thank you for all of your help!!

[BreakTheDistance 4]

Quick update guys.

 

24th Oct - Card being produced

28th Oct - Card was produced 

 

Lets hope I receive my EAD card this week or next and actually start working, and also obtain my driving license

 

Hang in there everyone!!

Hey guys, just got my EAD card but I believe it seems to be a combo? I’ve attached a pic of the card also

 

am I right into thinking I can book a ticket back to London for a week and still be allowed back into the USA? Has anyone ever known someone to have issues regarding re-entry with the combo card?

 

Thank you

Congrats! Technically you’re ok to travel with AP but it’s still a risk, since it’s up to CBP to let you in at their discretion. 
 

if you haven’t gotten into any trouble or you haven’t illegally stayed you should be ok.

Hey thank you very much

 

Ive not gotten into any trouble but the only thing is we filed for my AOS roughly 2 weeks after my I-94 expired. Would they see that as a problem do you reckon?

Greetings to all waiting,

July 2022, AOS-filer here.

I came across this somewhat interesting link about decoding the IOE* case number.

https://www.reddit.com/r/USCIS/comments/yn60ig/decoding_ioe_case_numbers/

Our 3 case numbers (I-485, I-131, I-765) all start with IOE091*******.

I may cross-post this with the other AOS-filers months as it may at confirm the randomness of the AOS process.

This site has some nice data graphics of the IOE* case numbers

Congrats to everyone who already received their EAD!

I filed on August 24, biometrics done on September 20. Hoping for the best, it seems a lot of IOE cases are being approved these days.

Hi AlmightyS

I also submitted my AOS package on Aug24th. Fingers crossed that the predictions above are correct and EAD is on its way soon! 

 

I submitted a expedite request, nobody reached out for 4 weeks then it got denied saying I didn't submitted evidence. The officer I spoke on the phone said the case is actively being processed and another expedite request would be a similar wait than regular processing in her opinion - not sure if it's true... she ended up making another expedite request in the end.

I have a job offer waiting for months now, just moved expected start date to February today 😢
