I hope you know that you need to be lawfully present in the USA if you're adjusting status from a LPR individual.

I wish you the best!

Sorry to hear that. What happened to your first application?

[Rafael1993]

Sorry to hear that. What happened to your first application?

My lawyer said that the application may has been lost..
since I waited all those weeks it didn’t worth to wait longer so I applied again. Let’s hope that the application will process now

Yes that is correct. I’m lawfully present in the states on a valid visa. Let’s hope that the overall process gets back to normal again

All the best! I've been waiting for almost 3 weeks without hearing anything back. Keep my fingers crossed ...

Hi All - my first post here:

F1 OPT married to USC; Concurrent filer

7 Jul 2020 - Mailed AOS packet to USCIS Chicago Lockbox
9 Jul 2020 - Update from UPS - Delivered to USCIS

Guys I have 2 questions:
1) My current F1 OPT expires on 16th July 2020, can I work or accept employment after my EAD expires based on the fact that I have a green card application pending, assuming ofcourse that the employer accepts my receipt notices as a proof of that?
2) Is there a way to expedite the EAD card?

Thanks

   Have on hand the following information: Receipt Notice/Receipt Number, DOB, Mailing Address & Physical Address, attorney’s name & address (if applicable).
   
   You can also visit a USCIS local office with an InfoPass appointment or write a letter to the field office or service center (not recommended).
   
   If you are outside the United States, you should submit your requests to the USCIS office in your country.
2. Expedite Request Sent to USCIS officer
   The USCIS sends your expedite request to the USCIS office who is processing your EAD application.

thanks a lot johnny - really helpful information

My F1 OPT expires on 16 Jul 2020 and I'm currently unemployed (but volunteering). I'm expecting a job offer soon, but they are saying they would want to see a EAD card and not just receipt notices from USCIS to employ me.

Could you tell me whats the reasoning you gave to USCIS for expediting EAD card? Are you in healthcare industry or did you show any other kind of severe financial personal/business loss?

In my case - I don't work in the healthcare industry nor do I have any other financial emergency other than obviously we all need to work and I cant let a job offer go in these crazy times. Also because being unemployed could be seen negatively from a public charge perspective even though I have more than sufficient income to show for 2019 tax year and did submit the Income Tax return for 2019 too. I only got laid off in April 2020 due to the COVID-19 situation. Do you think just sending a job offer is enough to request expedited EAD?

Looking forward to your response. Thanks in advance.

Anyone got their checks cached?

Married to USC
Just graduated college and currently in the states under valid F1 visa
AOS application: I-130, I-130A, I-693, I-485, I-944, I-864, I-864 joint sponsor along with I-131 and I-765

07/10/2020 Application sent to USCIS
07/14/2020 Package delivered to Chicago Lockbox - signed by Recipient J.H.
07/29/2020 Checks cashed but not NOA receipts, no texts or emails.
07/30/2020 4 text receipt notices with receipt numbers at 11:30PM. No emails (I did check my spam folder- will wait for the hard copy in the mail.)

Writing here so I can keep updating and see how everyone else's aps go. I was told that the offices opened not too long ago so they will be going through the older (pending) applications first. Hopefully they catch up and July aps can get processed soon.
