Compelling Circumstances EAD while on H1B and laid off

[dipjyoti]

Hi,

I am on H1B, have I-140 approved and recently got laid off. I would like to know if someone has applied for Compelling Circumstance EAD and have gotten approved while being laid off. I don’t have any medical reason.

1. What evidence to show for Compelling Circumstances? Can it be only Financial loss? Laid off notice, house mortgage, car payments etc.?
2. How many days/months it took to get the EAD card?
3. Did you expediate it? If so, how did you expediate it?

I would appreciate any help in this regard.

Regards,
Deep

Hi, Did you try the compelling circumstances EAD? How many months did they take to issue the card?
