EAD c(9) filed March 23, 2021
Has anyone received their EAD based on a pending I-485 adjustment application [(c)(9)]?
I filed late March and still haven't received anything. The last update from USCIS is that my name was updated in July. Because my case is filed under VAWA it's sealed up and I can't get any other information from USCIS, especially Level 1 Officers. I got an appointment at my local USCIS Field Office, and spoke to a Level 3 Officer who said she would work on trying to advocate for my case, but nothing. I also reached out to my senator a month ago to request assistance. they only submit a case about a week ago and I haven't heard anything yet from them. I tried submitting a case inquiry about a week ago, but also nothing.
I received a job offer from a prestigious nonprofit international organization that works with governments and I'm worried I might lose the job offer if I don't get the EAD on time.
Does anyone have advice on how to get assistance?

same thing happened to my case, I had interview on 20th October 2021 and it’s still under review. I have had too many job offers, unfortunately I could not get one of them. I don’t exactly know how long is it gonna take and how long do we have to wait for them?

@JJ j thank you! 🙏 I need a lot of prayers right now.
@Mohammad I'm praying that you get it soon too. Waiting got your EAD to legally work in the USCIS is a nightmare, especially when you're the only one who supports your household.
@sam singh Thank you for the good news! What dates did your friends file?

USCIS Nebraska service center overloaded with pending application. They hve prority in employment based I-485 pending not to approve EAD early but provide GC directly due to backlog. Always ask your senator to politely ask to transfer case to NBC. if they do it. You will get very quickly. You cant ask but Senator might be.

Reach out to your congressman/senator again and tell them you'd like to expedite your application. Share your job offer letter alongside your expedite request letter when applying to USCIS.

I went through the same path. It is frustrating.

I think the fastest way is to expedite through the senator/congressman.
