EAD Expedite Case
I just received my work permit (EAD) approval — and I want to share my journey in case it helps someone out there going through the same thing.
My EAD is based on a family petition (I-485 Adjustment of Status). I submitted my application on June 24, and I was originally scheduled for biometrics on July 30. But before that, I had submitted multiple expedite requests due to financial hardship — I was in a really difficult situation, with debt and a job offer I couldn’t accept without the EAD.
After doing more research and asking questions, I found out I could reschedule my biometrics appointment to an earlier date. So I did — I went in on July 28 instead.
Right after my biometrics that same day, I contacted USCIS again for my expedite request. An USCIS agent told me I would receive a notification for a callback from a Tier 2 officer — but I never got the message. Instead, they called me directly on July 30.
And on August 1st — I received my EAD approval notice.
it’s important to mention that I submitted evidence of financial loss and proof of a job offer that I was at risk of losing.
It’s been an emotional ride, but I just want to say: Don’t give up. Advocate for yourself. Be proactive.

travel abroad
hi, I would like to ask if anyone have had the experience to travel abroad with advance parole. my situation is the following. I previously had self deportation back in 2015 in 2023 my motion to reopen was granted. My vawa was approved back in March 2025 which my lawyer filled back in Jan 2022 I have 4 different EAD cards one based on 765 for Vawa another one just a regular I-765, one base on Vawa then the last one based on I-485 which was filled in May 2024 case still pending. I was wondering if its smart to travel with advance parole since I have had previous deportation order it was dismissed but I am not sure or if I should wait for any updates regarding my I-485 instead of risking it all.
thanks in advance!
Finally, our journey is complete
After 1200 long days our adjustment of Status was approved and our green card is being produced, no interview 🙏🎉

Mumbai I-130 Interview Scheduled, Expecting baby before the interview, Reschedule possible?
Hello!
My wife is scheduled for the interview in the third week of September 2025 at Mumbai consulate. I am a LPR and have petitioned my wife. we are expecting our first baby few days or few weeks before the interview may be first week of September. given the interview date I feel it is too tight to get the baby’s birth certificate and other documents ready before the interview and also for my wife to be stable post delivery to take the journey from Bihar to Mumbai. she will have to take the medical exam and then interview. it’s a lot just few days after delivering baby. has anyone tried rescheduling the interview or help me what I can do here? can someone reach out to me if they went through similar experience? my attorney says that I need to miss the interview and then only I can reschedule it which doesn’t make sense. any information is appreciated #I-130 #F2A #Reschedule #Mumbai
I-751 Approved! 🙌🏾
Just wanted to give some hope to anyone still waiting — my removal of conditions was just approved a few hours ago!
I’ve been separated from my spouse since December and wasn’t sure what to expect. I almost filed a waiver, but thankfully everything worked out without needing to.
This journey was tough, but trust the process. If you’re honest and patient, your approval will come. Don’t give up. 💚✨
