My EAD has been pending for 77 days (my priority date is 10/17/17), as this is more than 75 days I just called USCIS to place an expedite request.

 

Called 1-800-375-5283

Option 2

Option 1

Entered alphanumeric receipt number

Option 3 (to speak to somebody)

Requested expedite (not Service Request)

Financial hardship category (first option)

They took my details and gave me a reference number

 

I have a job offer but approval of an expedite is still discretionary.

Went to the Miami Gardens SSA yesterday to update my social security card, my previous number was kept. They just updated my name, address but i think it will still have the valid for work only with DHS authorization on it. I took my passport, marriage certificate and EAD card with me as well as a completed SS-5 application. Didn't make an appointment, arrived at 9am and was out by 9: 40am.

Not sure yet. They said it takes up to 5 working days to receive an email requesting more information or an approval to expedite.

 

I wouldn't bother trying the expedite route if you don't have a job offer as that is definitely a prerequisite. However anybody can raise an SR instead.

Guys, I'm comparing the vaccinations I have in my medical records and the vaccinations listed in the I-693.

I am missing some of them.

How do I know which are actually age-appropriate for me (23)?

I know some can be marked as non age-appropriate by the civil surgeon.

I'm also 23 and mandatory vaccinations were MMR, Tdap, and Varicella for me. However, in my case the nurse just asked me if I've had chicken pox, which I did,  so I didn't get varicella. 

 

Try this table https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/schedules/hcp/imz/adult.html

 

Best of luck for the interview! Can't believe how fast Cleveland office is or just how lucky you are :)

Guys, I'm comparing the vaccinations I have in my medical records and the vaccinations listed in the I-693.

I am missing some of them.

How do I know which are actually age-appropriate for me (23)?

I know some can be marked as non age-appropriate by the civil surgeon.

the surgeons will choose what u need. nothing we can do really. I did vaccines for newborns haha
