F1 OPT EAD
Hi everyone!
I know some people have been waiting 6 months to a year for their EADs so I mean no disrespect by posting my experience, as I have only been waiting 4 months.
I applied in June for my F1 OPT EAD.
I did not need to submit any fingerprints or attend an interview.
When I applied, the processing time for an F1 EAD was 2-3 months. As of a month ago, it is now 3-5 months.
I left the US to attend my best friend's wedding and was advised to ask my roommates to mail my EAD to me once it arrives. However, I am now sitting in a foreign country waiting for my EAD. I tried to submit an expedite request based on financial loss as I have 2 job offers in hand. It was denied as F1 candidates do not qualify under this category.
Does anyone have any advice on what to do to try and expedite my EAD?
My concern is that my job offers are time-sensitive, and also I am draining my savings staying in a foreign country.
I saw some people are contacting their Congressmen. Is it possible to involve your Congressmen even if you are within the "normal processing range"?
Thank you so much!!
