Did they say why they denied it?

I just received my EAD, I'm really happy rn!!!

 

I have not received my SSN, does anyone know about the process for social security after receiving the EAD?

Just got the notification that mine was denied. Losing my job in a month and my health insurance with it I guess.

I'm sorry to hear that. I just got a notification that mine has been mailed to me. Grateful that my congressman was able to fast-track the process.

Sorry to hear @beefmaster

 

I still haven't heard anything after over a week. Faxed everything again this morning

Hi everyone,

 

I'm on F-1 OPT, which is going to expire on May 20th. 

I got married in Jan (reentered the country on Jan 2nd from a overseas trip, but I have been in the US for about 10 years and travel a crazy ton for work. Didn't know about the 90-day rule thing before I started this process..., and well the deed is done so just fingers crossed this won't come up) and this is my AOS timeline:

 

2/21 Fedex
2/24 signed received, priority date
3/6 NOA text, date of notice
3/9 checks cashed
3/13 NOA for biometrics 3/31, date of notice
 

Obviously didn't go to biometrics and am just patiently waiting for it to be rescheduled (I didn't contact them, just didn't show up).

 

I was originally going to expedite the combo card as soon as I get biometrics done, because I do still really need my income after May 20 and was hoping to not have a gap. Plus originally, I will need to travel pretty soon for work reason. 

My question now is .. If I can't get anything done and the OPT expires, do I reach out to my employer and tell them to stop paying me after May 20? I work in the arts and everything is cancelled right now, but we will make up for the events after the pandemic is over. I'm technically not working at the moment. It is a bit of a grey area since I'm still getting a paycheck every other week. My contract expires in July so I'm still getting paid until then unless I contact them.

 

As soon as biometrics can be done, I will do the expedite base on severe finanical loss. Would my original contract that states I have work until July be enough evidence? 

Stay healthy and safe and home everyone!

I’m in the same boat. Filing AOS via employment based. I was supposed to appear at an ASC for biometrics 3/25 but couldn’t since all offices were closed. I went ahead and expedited since my current F1-OPT expires in June. I expedited on 4/8/2020 and got request to send additional documents on 4/09/2020 which I did. I’ve been waiting since then with no updates. I called and they said the timeframe is 15-30 days. I would suggest you go ahead and expedite if you have a really strong evidence to present

Hello all,

 

has anyone ever expedited their EAD without biometrics on file and still got approved? I am current a nurse working with my F1-OPT which expires in June. I filed for I-485,I-765 and I-131 on 2/28/2020. I got a  mail for biometrics for 3/25/2020 which I couldn’t get done since they were closed. I went ahead and asked for my ead to be expedited because from the look of things, I can’t just sit and wait for them to reopen and give me a new biometrics appointment. My current ead would have expired by then. Anyone in this same situation?

From what I understand you need to have completed your biometrics to expedite. Sorry, hopefully the ACS open soon.

Ah cool. I am hoping that the ACS opens on May 3rd and I will walk-in to do biometrics immediately, and then request expedite. Otherwise if they have more delay in opening offices, I will do what you are doing. Good luck and keep me posted on your process!

Congrats! My husband’s expedite/card was approved on 4/8, but no updates since. Has your card been issued yet ? 

[Eddybest 3]

Trying to use hellofax to send in evidence but it’s taking too long to send. Any one have similar experience?

Thank you. First got the expedite request approved and about an hour later the card is being produced update. Hope I'll receive it by the end of next week.
