EAD approval for c9 AOS (expedited)
I requested an expedite of my EAD on Monday following a job offer and ending of my post doc in august. I stated “severe financial loss” as the reason . no request for evidence and it was quickly approved. I’m surprised and relieved it was all so fast. hopefully that’s an indication that things are better/more efficient.

when you raised expedite request

I think having an offer plus evidence that your current job will end soon is key. because I’m on H1b with an end date in August they could verify that. I just called on Monday and waited about 10-15 minutes and answered a few questions. 24 hours later expedite request approved and 24 hours after status changes to “new card being produced”

is this your 1st expedite request?

yup, first time. again I think if your job/visa is ending soon and you have a job offer then I think they will move fast. also maybe just picking up the phone and calling and clearly and concisely stating the reason under which you are requesting (e.g., severe financial loss) - they have standard criteria they just need to check off so pointless complaining or getting into a long story. be clear, concise and courteous. good luck!
