[lynn77]

Hey guys, so i'm on day 120 right now, still no sign of EAD or inteview date.
So.... I dont know if I should just wait a little bit longer till there's an update on my EAD or just reach out to a senator or something to shake the tree for me.
Ugh this is killin' meeeee

Thank you so much! I will try to do exactly the same. I only have 4 weeks until my EAD expires.

I wrote a cover letter that outlined the evidence and also stated that we depend on his income, and that we need his income to support our family (basically that he supports not only himself, but our family and that his inability to work would result in severe financial loss to him and our family. We submitted the following:

1. USCIS notice requesting additional documentation in support of request to expedite
2. Initial email sent by his company that notified him of his upcoming termination (one of those general HR emails)
3. A signed letter from his company on company letterhead confirming that he would be terminated w/o EAD
4. Letter from his boss describing his contributions to his employer and the importance of his continued ability to work

I ended it by respectfully requesting them to grant our request to expedite, offered to answer any additional questions, and we both signed it. I used the word "family" a lot. I also included the Referral ID for their convenience.

I think if you can show financial loss & the termination, you'll have a good shot.

Good luck!

Evidence

Hi!
I am on the same boat, my OPT Will expire on July 11th and I still don?t have m EAD ( PD 02/26/2018).
What information did you have to give them for job loss? I also will stop working if I don?t have a valid EAD. I have an info pass appointment tomorrow and plan to ask for an expedited EAD.

Thanks!

EAD due to job loss

Hi!
I am on the same boat, my OPT Will expire on July 11th and I still don?t have m EAD ( PD 02/26/2018).
What information did you have to give them for job loss? I also will stop working if I don?t have a valid EAD. I have an info pass appointment tomorrow and plan to ask for an expedited EAD.

Thanks!

Got EAD thanks to expedite request but otherwise same boat. 4/4/18 We Reviewed Your Biometrics And Are Still Processing...
Filing from St Louis

If I remember correctly, we sent over requested proof on the 26th and card was produced on the 8th or 9th of the following month. We had card in hand on the 11th. Ours was expedite due to job loss if we didn't get the new EAD (husband was on OPT that was set to expire) rather than job offer, so I don't know if that would have an effect.

Taska - I am pretty much in the same boat as you are. Have not heard anything since March 6 (except an RFE for some translation that was done close to 2 months ago now). But there is nothing to do, they do have up (I believe! and correct me if I am wrong) 5 months to provide the applicant with the EAD card?

Sr question

I raised a SR on May 22 for my Ead/485 and yesterday 6/6/2018 I check the website and it was saying that my case was assigned to an officer for review on June 1st 2018 but today I check again the website and it?s showing today?s date 6/7/2018 that my case was assigned again to an officer for review.

Does anyone knows why I have 2 different dates or what do I need to do?

My PD is 2/14/2018
No interview yet
