I have previously travelled with the F1 visa with FNU and had no issues. When I enter back to the U.S, I will have my full name as I changed it in my marriage certificate. Also, I can't postpone the trip - it is an emergency.

Hi all - I’m planning to fly to my home country in May and have so many questions. I’m beyond worried. I have no overstay and entered the country legally on F1 visa. Here are my questions — I got the combo card, do I need any other documents beyond this and the receipt notices? What is the process? I know I’m taken to secondary inspection BUT what do they stamp? Where is the I-512 stamp given? My F1 visa and previous EAD has the name FNU JOHN DOE, while as my I-94 has the name JOHN DOE and so does my combo card. Will this be problematic? Do you think they could deny me entry because of this?! In October, I was flying out of Germany back to the U.S and was detained (because of overstay by 2 hours due to a human error) BUT I was given a warning and let go and entered the U.S without issues - would this lead to problems ??! Any issues faced by home country’s air carrier not allowing you on the plane based on the AP? (Any experiences with Air India in the group??) Thanks!!!!!

No worries all! I was approved

I am adjusting from F-1 and my OPT expired a couple of weeks ago. My USC is able to sponsor me since he earns more than the minimum (I also added my own income and assets). Additionally, my income is higher than his which aids our expenses. I might have gotten the first denial because of the same...I am not sure. I'm worried I am going to be stuck for the next year because of these mistakes maybe.

No problem! I provided more than 40 pages of evidence including a letter from my employer, bills, rent due, and my U.S citizen's chronic condition that has a severe impact on our finances etc. I also provided a cover letter explaining our situation but my own expedite was denied. I am concerned that since the congressman's office has all the SAME documents, this will lead to a denial as well.. any suggestions?

It is an EAD expedite based on financial loss to myself and my employer.

Hi - I am in a similar situation. My congressman replied with the same update. Did you receive a decision on your expedite in 30 days?

Hi all, Applied for AOS through marriage. PD - Dec 7, 2022. I expedited EAD on Jan 10, 2023 and denied 14 days later. During this time, I had also reached out to my congressman with my documents to help with the expedite. I received no communication from them until today when they said they spoke to USICS officer and the supervisor will be looking at my case in the next 30 days AND MAY approve the expedite. No promises.Has this happened to folks? What’s usually been the result? Should I get my hopes up or keep my head down and keep waiting it out?

I have financial records for that --- my husband is also chronically ill. I am in the education field working with school districts.

Hi all, I am currently trying to prepare documents so I can expedite my EAD based on 2 criterias - 1) financial loss to myself and my employer; AND 2) Nonprofit organization (as designated by the Internal Revenue Service) whose request is in furtherance of the cultural or social interests of the United States. Has anybody had experience with this? What are some documents that will help? Please advise. Thanks!
