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.

my current job is fine and I also have another job offer, can I expedite my case, it is pending in Nebraska for more than 7 months
Iqbal AhmadMay 26, 2022
when you raised expedite request
Marge The secondMay 26, 2022
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?
Marge The secondMay 26, 2022
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!
