EAD nightmare
hi,
current F! OPT expires on Jan 9th, 2018. applied for a marriage-based green card.
timeline
10/11/2017 - application received
10/18/2017 - notice date
11/08/2017 - biometrics
12/19/2017 - requested expedite (working for TN State government and losing my employment can affect my time-sensitive projects and also the public of TN)
12/26/2017 - received a notice saying expedite completed
01/03/2017 - called a tier 2 representative and she said to be patient due to holidays we have a delay but an officer is working on it.
01/05/2017 1 PM - went to INFOPASS in Louisville KY but we live in Nashville TN. one we got there this was the experience we had.
he lady in the window took my SR and my current EAD and typed my current A number in the system and she assumed that I was there for my OTP STEM extension and said you're a student so you cant renew or request expedited why are you here. I said I am not here to renew my OPT EAD, but I applied for an EAD in a new category and here for that. she did not even look into my file and another lady in the back said "sir, you are not qualified for automatic extension so you will lose your job on Jan 9, you are not anything special from all the other people that apply for EAD, you can call all day and put a service/expedite request every day but they will not do anything and you will not get a decision for 4 months cause the normal processing time nowadays is 6 months due to backlogs. please let me one reason which makes you so special. people apply for premium service and employer pays thousands of extra dollars but you paid nothing compared to them. so you are not special." and the lady in the counter in front of me said "sir, if your employers allow you, you can work after it expires also" and my spouse said but would that not make him work illegally and she said "yes but it's up to the employer. " plus she didnot even type any notes
01/05/2018 3 PM - called a teir 2 resprentative - didnt mention about the infoPass and asked an update, he said "your case was assigned to a officer on dec 21st and is reviewing it, i see you have a strong case due to expiring EAD and i hope you might recieve a decison next week plus your 485 is also ready for schedulign an interview" then i told about infopass, he said "i apologize but i dnt think they had enough knowledge or may be did not have access to all of your file".
01/08/2017 - hands on my heart and faith in a miracle.
my EAD is expiring tomorrow, i am here at work do not know what to do, i am having a panic attack. need suggestions and prayers.
