Hi All,

Same as sammylee116, only submitted a job offer ( July 29th, received August 3), via mail because Fax wasn't working and got approved yesterday with notice that card is being printed. 

 

QUESTION: those of you that filed for AP and EAD originally, and then expedited your EAD, did you get a combo card? Hoping that is the case!

 

Responses would be much appreciated!

Yes, I got a combo card after expediting EAD

Hi all, just wanted to give you an update on my process - I got my EAD approved on August 2nd (after congressman had reached out) and it was mailed on August 7th, my request date for an expedite was July 5th and I was never able to fax the documents in. Good luck - I really think reaching out to the senate is the best way to speed it up.

Thank you so much for this info. I didn't mention the financial hardship due to pending job offer. Should I call them again?  

Really the way it goes is that there is no ground to request an expedite based on pending job offer. The ground has to be one of the ones listed on their website, and then backed up by the fact that you have a pending job offer. This post helped me a ton so I would refer to that, it really explains the process in detail:

I only sent a copy of my job offer since that was the only thing they requested in their rfe letter, and a cover letter explaning why Financial hardship (with the obvious reason that I haven't been able to work for three months.. :)) My status changed to card being produced yesterday! I mailed my documents on 7/17 and dind't hear anything back, but had my congressman contact them last week. I think it's the best way to go. Good luck everyone!!

Tried faxing 5 times since 12am last night and its 8am right now.

 

I contacted the customer service number on the form and the lady that answered was mean. I asked for an address since the fax is busy. and she said, "what does the instructions say on the form?" and I said, "to have them faxed" and she said "well thats what you need to do." she was being a B*TCH. and I told her that I'm part of a group online and there were others that were able to mail them, and she said the same thing to me. and I hung up angrily on her.

 

How do I get in contact with a Tier2 officer? and an actual person?

I called the customer service number, then selected 2 for USCIS status, then I selected 2 again that I did not know my receipt number. (since that was the only way for me to get connected to a human)

When I called, they just told me to mail to the address in the top right corner and put Expedite unit + the Attn team on the note. They don't give you a new address.

Check dhs site? Other site dont update till USPS has your card.

Is this different from the normal uscis case tracker? If so, can you please send over the link?

Hi guys,

Help a Swede out! I just reunited with my love on a K-1 and we're about to file for Adjustment of Status. I have a question about last names though and I'm getting really confused! I was planning on holding off on changing my last name until next year, and have filled out all the adjustment forms in my maiden name. Will this work? I will be changing last names next fall though - will I be able to inform USCIS about this update once changed with SSA and so on?

Thanks so much!
