Expedited EAD through job offer

[Travellover 0]

Hello,

 

I wondered if anyone could help me. I got a job offer and I have heard that I can expedite my EAD through that. Does someone know how?

I did concurrent filing for AOS in mid December 2018, did Biometrics in January and had no RFE. 

Please help!!!

You always can try. Send in a letter to request with the job offer. But I gotta tell ya, there are people who currently working and have to stop working, and they won't expedite. 

 

 

https://www.uscis.gov/forms/expedite-criteria

 

USCIS reviews all expedite requests on a case-by-case basis and requests are granted at the discretion of the office leadership. The burden is on the applicant or petitioner to demonstrate that one or more of the expedite criteria have been met.

USCIS may expedite a petition or application if it meets one or more of the following criteria:

-0Severe financial loss to company or person;

-Emergency situation;

-Humanitarian reasons;

-Nonprofit organization whose request is in furtherance of the cultural and social interests of the United States;

-Department of Defense or national interest situation (These particular expedite requests must come from an official U.S. government entity and state that delay will be detrimental to the government.);

-USCIS error; or

-Compelling interest of USCIS.

You can expedite a EAD with a written job offer. Then send that documentation to USCIS for them to either approve or deny the expedite.

What do you mean by that? So it’s basically senseless?

I do have a written job offer. I just don’t know where to exactly send it

Here's the main thread: 

You call USCIS, ask them to please submit a request to expedite your EAD. They will ask you on which criterium, you select severe financial loss. They will ask you to explain. Make sure to explain properly--you have a job offer and you want to accept this job offer because X, where X is, bills to pay, to advance your career, benefits you need, etc. Be thorough yet succinct. The rep on the phone will write this down, give you an SR number the status of which you can check online under your I-765 status (old site). Within a week or so, an officer will review these notes and either email or mail you a request for information. When you receive this (1-10 days, depending on whether the officer chooses to mail or email), you will fax your evidence to the specified number/ATTN. You will include a cover letter from yourself explaining the situation, the job offer letter, and any other supporting evidence you wish to include (if any). Then you wait. 

 

It seems that most people who get approved, get approved at about the 3-week mark, plus one week to get the card in the mail. Some may take longer. 

 

Those who get denied, tend to be denied before USCIS asks for additional evidence. I therefore believe it's because they did not provide enough information on the phone that the officer considers valid. A job offer, so far, has been very much valid, for many people. So the trick must be in what you say on the phone and how you say it. You need to provide the reason for financial loss, as well as the fact that you do have a solution (job offer).

Do you have to be at a certain part of the process to submit the expedite request? My AOS package was received at Chicago Lockbox a month ago and today the check was cashed, but no receipt confirmation mail/email/text yet. I´ve read that some people were told they needed the biometrics appointments first but others didn't. I just want to know if I have to wait for the I797 or  my biometrics appointment or if I could just request the expedite with a written job offer (which I just received today!  )

You need to have your biometrics done before you can try to expedite
