Waiting for EAD
Dear All,
I am a US Citizen and we filed I-130, I-485 and I-765 in California for my wife on 12/26/2017.
USCIS received the documents on 01/09/2018 and she did the Biometrics appointment that month.
We've been waiting since then. We don't mind I-130 and I-485 taking slow, but she's had a job offer since January pending the I-765. She could be working for pay and paying taxes but instead she's been volunteering for no pay.
It has now been 174 days since we submitted the forms, and 160 days since USCIS received them. We called them once in April, after the 90 days were up, but received a letter in May that they're still in the 2-5 month time frame. Currently USCIS website says that I-765 in California Service center is over normal processing time if it was received by them before 01/19/2018, but when I tried to file a request to look into it online yesterday, it didn't let me, said that we're still in the processing time.
What are my courses of action? I've read we could contact our congressman or ombudsman or file for an expedited EAD.
Our congressman in Laguna Niguel is Dana Rohrabacher, can't find the Ombudsman and don't know exactly how this expedited EAD works. What form is that, who do we send it to?
What else could we do? She wants to work, has a job offer, has been missing out on getting paid for almost half a year now. This is a major headache
Thanks.
