Yes that's $680.I put mine in a single check too.

The expedites are definitely looked at but I know what you mean...
 
I filed in August last year and I received a letter late September saying it was rejected. Several phone calls later they finally admitted it was their error and told me to lodge an expedite request. After about a two months of going back n forth to get the expedite submitted (mainly due to waiting for the biometrics appointment because they will not consider any expedite before they have that information) I finally got an email in December saying they received my request and a month later I received my EAD. 
 
In all honestly I can't be sure if it was even the "Expedite team" that processed it or the normal team.
 
My experiences have taught me that it's better to try every avenue that is available to you. That way you can sleep a little better at night knowing you've done everything you possibly can to get it done. But keep in mind that even if you do everything to the letter, mistakes will still be made on their end and there is nothing you can do about it.

I understand this is an immigration site but I see many people posting about all kinds of things so your hotline comment is rude and unnecessary. 

I just got my appointment letter yay!
 
My appointment is Oct 31st 2018

Yeah, thanks for the advice buddy.

Plan better? You sound like my manager... 
 
I was in a car accident so the leave I took was not something I in any way planned for.
 
How am I meant to plan for an appointment that I have no idea when they're going to schedule it...
 
Obviously going to the appointment is more important because not going means being booted out 😑
I was in a car accident..

I was legitimately sick. I was in a car accident. I had a medical note. It makes absolutely no difference to them whether I was or was not legitimately sick or injured. 

I was aiming that comment specifically at that person. Everyone else has been super helpful and provided me with a lot to think about.

Just find another job, and have the start date be after your appointment.
 
Congrats on the AOS appointment date.

Man, don't roll me into your tacky ### behaviors. Most of us are adults and should know how to behave accordingly.

You have to be at an employer for a year which I'm not unfortunately.
