Hey guys, 

my husband received a job offer and the offer would expire August 2 if he cannot accept it. We put in an EAD expedite request due to financial hardships and were asked to fax in proof of job offer. We have our documents as shown: job offer letter, proof of financial hardships, copy of notice. Lastly We’re working on writing the cover letter, however We’re stuck. Does anyone have an example ead expedite cover letters or knows how to make them? 

 

Also so are we missing any documentations that can help in our favor?

For cover letter, I just listed the documents I submitted, and describe briefly why I need to expedite EAD, make it a bit simple so the officer would read the key point. And make sure you quantify the financial loss (For my case, I anticipate another 4 months to get EAD if follow the normal EAD processing time, that means $ XXX amount of loss in total, and also 401K, bonus, etc.).

I think your documentations are good.

I-485/765/131:

06/01/2018 - Sent AOS/EAD/AP through UPS, received NOA1 on 6/11. Received bio appointment on 6/15 and completed on scheduled date 6/29.

Thanks so much! I will add your suggestions about the amount lost if the job gets denied. How long after faxing did you get to hear from them?

Fax never worked for me... I tried multiple times from morning to the evening, so I just mailed it, at the same time I contacted with congresswoman office, so I'm not sure which one worked for me in the end

Fax wasn’t working for me either from FedEx. I tried 3 times, it just said busy. Then I went to Office Depot, crosses my fingers, and it went through. I had no idea we could mail it so I was pretty scared. 

 

Ill call congress or senate next week to have them follow up in case it helps... 

 

Ill keep everyone posted for future readers.

For me it took exactly a week from faxing the evidence to "Card is in Production". But timelines seem to vary from a couple of days to several weeks

Followed by this email: 

" ...

Referral ID:
X
Beneficiary (if you filed for someone else):
 -- Information not available

Your USCIS Account Number (A-number):
 -- X

Type of service requested:
 -- Expedite


The status of this service request is:

We received your documents in support of your request to expedite the decision on your application. Your case is currently under review. You will receive a decision or notice of further action shortly. "

 

 

Does anyone know if "you will receive a decision or notice" means a decision to the expedite or a decision to the EAD? Does this mean Expedite request was approved?
