submit an expedite request for EAD

this process is frustrating to say the least, i have been waiting since Jan 2025 with current PD the entire time. Got EAD end of May. do submit the e-request inquiry for EAD to see if that moves things along as well as senator inquiry won’t hurt

@Joseph Climber unfortunately my lawyer said it usually doesn't work.

@Ashley M my EAD application is processing under normal times and I can't submit an inquiry until the end of November, :(

i agree with @Ashley M @D 3 same as ashley i called uscis and ask why ead is not approved any thing pending? in next 2 days ead got apprvoed filed aos 485 with ead in jan 2025 all time its current in may got ead after call.

1. call them. 2. submit expedite request. e.g. the reason could be that you got a new job offer and it’s for the benefit of that American business to have you (submit some proof). you don’t have to actually get employed be that company. 3. i somewhat suspect that you might have never got a biometric appointment. if so, bother them. it’s been an issue lately that some people “get” appointment but not being notified about it by uscis, so they have no idea that the appointment is scheduled. and uscis thinks that the appointment has been missed, stops processing and might even deny the case. some of my friends were in similar situation, they also filed in March 2025. only after they inquired as to why they didn’t have a biometric appointment, they learned about that. they got their EAD and greencards within a month since the new biometric appointment

@D 3 I know people who got success with expedite processing of EAD even when they were told the same thing. see my prev comment above, item 2. if you can show some proof that you need it to be expedited because its of benefit to American business (it’s just an example), it will be expedited

@Gary Roh how do I call them? I didn't know I could since everyone would start calling them.

@Alice h We did biometrics on April 17th, :(

my situation is pretty close to you. EB1-b, RD Apr 17th 2025, PD Mar 2023 and always been current. no Ead no AP no GC Ofcourse

@D 3 are you tracking api changes? have you learned if your AoS moved to a FO yet?

I am pending since Feb 2025. eb1. no ead either

@M I what current work authorization do you currently have, if I may ask? What are you plans if you don't get an approval within the next few months?

@kk ll sorry to hear that. May I ask what work authorization do you have currently and if it's expiring soon? I'm asking to see what my options can be by seeing what other people are doing.

I'm also pending since March 2024. Both EAD & I485 for EB1, It's fustrating. I have a friend who submitted in June same Nebraska, same location, same nationality but go approved yesterday.

hi @D 3 I'm on a work visa which is good into 2026. but def worried. no clear options

@D 3 I’m on H1b. I’d say your best bet is the O1 visa, is that something you considered?

@kk ll have you tired submitting a service request for your ead

@D 3 it’s great that biometrics was completed already! so start bothering them. call, ask to place service request, place expedite request if able to justify it. bothering is great option. so often they forget about the case due to some system glitch and unless you bother, it can took them forever to realize it. it happed to me before, I pretty much sure they lost my case but never directly admitted it, and only me bothering them helped

I submitted in the same category in July 11 2025, I-140 and i-485 still pending, but i-765 we got approved in Sep 30. Thanks God!!! The case just move after expedite request. Your case is completely out of the regular processing time. Here is what you do: 1- Go on chat gpt, describe the entire situation and ask him to prepare a expedite request letter, under humanity ground or several loss, I'd use the first one. Edit the documente generated by chat gpt, add all of your information, like receipt number etc. 2 - Go to USCIS on-line account, under the i-765, upload that document from chat got under the section - "non solicited evidence" 3- Go to your USCIS online account, section inbox, new message, go under the receipt for the i-765( is the only one of the three that accepte expedite request). Select expedite request. 4 - very important do the step 2 before the step 3. You'll probably get your EAD approved in less than 15 days. I did that, and works, and my entire petition was filled just in July 2025. you'll get approved in less on the EAD in less than 15 day. trust me, I did that. you are in a worse situation. After doing that, come back here a let everyone know if worked well for you. thanks
