So true!

 

i got my EAD expedited due to a job offer pending.

 

Also,  a Cover Letter was faxed along with a Job offer  -  not a word about financial hardship in the letter, but I did mention that the opportunity like that doesn't come by often and etc...

It took about  2 weeks - from the moment I placed the request (over the phone) to  the moment the card was received. 

 

I'm not saying that a request to expedite always gets an approval.  But it is really worth to try if you have a gob offer and you are willing to take it. 

 

OP, good luck - hope things will work out for you!

 

 

Thank you! 

I feel a lot of animosity coming from a lot of users on this forum when you mention wanting to expedite your EAD because of a job offer among other reasons. Your story gives me hope

You can always make a request. However if you wish to be successful your reason should be more than just having a job offer. If you have a legitimate reason then thats fine otherwise wait like everyone else

I have a reason that qualifies under the 4 USCIS rules for an expedite...

Again, I am not looking for advice on how successful expedites are but rather if it is ok to share your receipt with a potential employer.

You are right at the end of the of the process, it'll probably take longer to just process your request, than it will to actually get your card

I have seen people here who have waited 10 months so I don't want to take any risks

Have you asked them why they need the information?  It seem logical that they just want to tie the letter to you by the case number........but I think you'll have to have a hard job offer.

It is a position that they created specifically for me as it turned out that I have 2 special skills (language and experience wise) for which they created one position that I can do instead of two positions that they originally listed. They want to focus on that aspect to get the expedite that they only need to hire me instead of 2 people.

My advice: Wait for your card (like everyone else). Getting an expedite approved requires excellent evidence of immediate need (severe financial loss, etc.). What is the reason for you to get special treatment? Why should the government put you in front of others? Do you have unusual circumstances whereby your family may incur severe financial hardship if you are not working? You can give them the info and see what happens. Any letter sent to USCIS must have proof (letter from a physician, etc.). It's rare to win an expedite case, but it will not delay your current application. Be patient.

My question is whether it is ok to provide that information to a potential employer.

Hi all,

I am waiting for my EAD but I have a potential employer who has offered me a job. They have not issued me an official offer letter to use for an expedited request but instead they want their paralegal who is in charge of immigration issues to write me a letter for the expedite. They asked me to provide them with my USCIS receipt for the EAD. I am not sure why they need that information and what they are going to put in that letter. Is it ok to give this information to them? Any ideas about this?
