In urgent need of feedback
Hi, thanks for helping me out.

I am very frustrated because I am waiting on an EAD to begin an internship that I was offered. I came with a F-1 visa but got married with my longtime girlfriend and applied to change status.

March 9th: Documents for EAD and Green Card received by the USCIS
March 31st: Request for Evidence
April 14th: Biometrics taken
May 6th: Request for Evidence received by USCIS
May 26th: Requested EAD to be expedited. (75 day marker)

When can I expect my EAD to arrive after requesting it to be expedited?

I am having a difficult time with my lawyer because she expressed that the request for evidence required by the USCIS did not stop the EAD request. After reading online everything seems to indicate that it actually does stop the progress. I am very frustrated as I entered with an F-1 status and really worked extremely hard to land a dream internship. The lawyer also mentions that since I submitted my application I cannot apply for CPT because it is a benefit of the F-1 visa and since I applied for permanent residency I am no longer an F-1 student although I am not a permanent resident either. Does anyone have any suggestions or comments that could help me understand what to do or how I can speed up the process (if possible). I have been talking with the employer and so far they have been very understanding but everyone's patience runs out at a certain point.

Thanks,
