Request Expedite for EAD
Hi everyone, I need your advice. I am a June 2018 filer, so my EAD hasn't been pending too long. However, my spouse recently lost their job because their whole department was closed down. We get health insurance through my spouses work, and my spouse needs this insurance to receive treatment for serious medical conditions. We qualify for COBRA but without an income we cannot afford it.

Do you think this qualifies as an emergency situation to have the EAD expedited? This obviously is not what we wanted to happen.

I currently do not have a job offer for a professional job. If I get EAD I can drive Uber or work at a department store to get money to pay for the health insurance while I look for a professional job, so that I can take care of my spouse.

Do you think that the chances of having it expedited would be improved if I waited to request it until I have a professional job that offers health insurance?

I think my spouse will find another job before the interview but we need to survive this interim period which is going to be difficult to do.
