EAD - Expedite Request Denials

[Filippe Barros 0]

I'm on an F-1 Visa, and have applied for an EAD on Post-OPT. My application was received on June 27th and on August 13th I submitted an Expedite Request.

I received a denial e-mail on the very next day, without even having the chance to argue about it.

 

My question here is, now that my expedite request got denied, while I was about 40 days into the process, does that mean my application got sent

to the bottom of the pile and I went back to the equivalent of day 1? I keep hearing rumors about it and it gets me very worried. It has now been 67 days since

it was first received.

 

P.S. If you're on an F-1 Visa, in the same situation; don't even bother requesting an expedite. You will be denied right away.

 

If someone could help me figure this out, I'd be very thankful.

Rumor can be right and can be wrong. Don't trust rumor.

Just because you had this experience doesn't mean everybody will get the same.

I say this because of the reason they stated in the denial e-mail I received. It is a very basic principle as to why they wouldn't approve any requests coming from F-1 student.

They haven't even given me a chance to provide any proof, explanation or anything. They simply denied as soon as the request was placed. I'm not trying to discourage anyone. I can paste the email here if no one believes me

I requested an expedite to my AOS based i-765 about three weeks before my OPT expired. The expedite was approved three days before the expiration date of my OPT (and F1). Being in F1 status does not mean that they will automatically reject your expedite request.

Ohh.. I wonder why they rejected my request right away then?! They never even asked me to submit any documents for proof... that sucks. But its whatever now, since the card should be here in a couple of days, FINALLY!
