EAD taking forever

[lfr19 1]

Hi there,

Like many here I am getting increasingly worried that my EAD has not been approved yet it's almost been 90 days (USCIS received my AOS petition on 5/6//14). I got my biometrics done first week of June, received rfe for documents that were originally submitted a week after the biometrics were taken and uscis updated to rfe response review about 2 weeks later.

I have been following VJ closely over the last few weeks and understand that ead can take 90 days plus time when rfe was pending but I have now landed a job offer for a great opportunity that I would hate see flip through my fingers.

It looks like people on this forum have reported successful attempts at expediting an ead after landing a job offer and stressing severe financial loss to their household etc. Some called USCIS 800 number, some worked with their local congressman what is the best option to speed up the process. I am just worried I won't be able to start working next month.

Thanks much

Call the USCIS and tell them you would like to expedite your EAD and you have the supporting documentation that explains the reason why. They usually help you with it.
