Hi all,

 

I am planning to file for AOS/EAD/AP (K-1 applicant adjusting status) immediately after getting married on my entry day to the US.

After that, I will be nervously awaiting the Notice of Action for the AOS/EAD/AP.

 

After I receive those, can I request to expedite my EAD? Or can I only do it after the Biometrics are done or anything else I should be aware of?

 

Thanks!

You need a job offer to expedite your EAD. Biometrics will most likely need to be taken before the card can be printed.

If it isn't difficult, it isn't worth it.

If you have a job offer you can ask for an expedite and provide the written offer as evidence. Otherwise it will likely take the normal times for approval.

Yes you can. If the expedite is granted you will just have your biometrics at an earlier date.
