I'm currently on cap-exempt H1B, and I applied for EAD+AP, AOS based on marriage to my US citizen wife. Does USCIS even consider EAD expedition since I already have a work status? I have had unexpected expenses recently, and interviewing for jobs that pay significantly higher salary.

Read the thread below it will help you with your expedite its long but has a lot of valuable info.

In summary

1. Call USCIS and request expedite for your EAD for financial hardship

2. Contact your local Congressman and Senator to back up your expedite

3. Prepare a package with bills, expense, a cover letter explaining your situation and a letter from your employer HR stating that you will be terminated on xx date due to your H1 expiring or an offer letter from a potential employer with a specific start date (as early as possible )

4. Send the package following USCIS instructions that you will receive by mail or Fax

5. Pray and wait for a decision 

6. Sign up for USPS Informed Delivery it is a great tool that shows you what to expect in your mailbox on a daily basis

No suggestion the H is expiring soon.
