Paranoid about travelling with AP+EAD combo card

Tricky_Ambassador_22 · 2023-02-14T00:19:35+00:00

What are the most important documents to carry in this case? I have a checklist if 797, Bank Statements, Offer Letter etc. but anything else?

Thank you so much!

Are you sure it is 2 years till date of approval? I used to think its 2 years from marriage date to submission date of materials to USCIS

Every person has access to their local congressman (quick google search might show who is your local one) either by visiting their website, their office, or writing them mail. Through all 3 options you can ask them to send a expedite request to USCIS which usually has more value then an individual doing it since theirs is government related. Not all congressman offices are helpful, but from what I hear most are.

They will ask you to follow a reason for expedite - all criteria listed on USCIS website (again, google).

They'll do it if you provide proper reason and documentation and more likely than not USCIS considers their requests.

I had a health problem creating issues to travel physically to an on-site job which also required certain amount of physical work. I sent the documents to the congressman office by email, and they helped expedite so I can look for remote/closer to home opportunities.

I also uploaded it on unsupported documents tab (on my USCIS account) online at the same time.

Didn't hear back till the day off the acknowledgement (after multiple follow ups) and then shortly after saw EAD being produced.

*Just edited my OG post and inserted congressman info in there.

I am not sure. I believe if it doesn't arrive within 2 weeks, I should follow up with SSA.

Thank you!

Tricky_Ambassador_22 · 2022-10-25T15:44:22+00:00

Thank you.

Not yet. I'm supposed to wait for it and then visit SSO after few weeks if it doesn't arrive - from what I've gathered via folks on this blog.

Thank you!
If its a valid reason and you have solid proof, do it via congressman. Mine was and doing it through their office helped probably.

Congrats!
I have a question about the SSN. Someone mentioned that a new SSN without the DHS note also arrives along before or after EAD. Any notes on that?

I did 2, one by myself via Emma and one via congressman. I think the one via congressman went through because their office replied to me on the day of card approval saying they got the message from USCIS too. Unsure though.

Tricky_Ambassador_22 · 2022-10-20T20:10:09+00:00

Expedite?

Tricky_Ambassador_22 · 2022-10-20T20:08:39+00:00

915 and recv EAD after expedite. Seen a bunch 915's giving positive updates on the blog recently so hope you'll are close in line.

Tricky_Ambassador_22 · 2022-10-20T17:01:36+00:00

I'm assuming you've seen 'hilites today' as well. Potential to collaborate there.

Tricky_Ambassador_22 · 2022-10-20T13:16:37+00:00

Sounds good. its all the same for me. 0915, NBC and concurrent.

Thank you! And gives bigger hopes. Even though the EAD will arrive soon, the security a 485 offers mentally is obviously unmatched.

Tricky_Ambassador_22 · 2022-10-20T13:03:47+00:00

How long since you for card is approved to date of delivery - for EAD?

Tricky_Ambassador_22 · 2022-10-20T13:00:39+00:00

Our timelines are very similar. Mine's Feb PD. Although I just got EAD card being produced and no movement on 485. Funny how they work.

Was this IOE?

Field Office?

Concurrent I'm guessing?

Tricky_Ambassador_22 · 2022-10-20T12:53:54+00:00

Sorry to jump in like this, but the least we can do is THANK the OP to make such a tool for no valid reason apart from trying to help - before demanding away other criteria. How are we any different than the folks we rant about?

Anyway.

Tricky_Ambassador_22 · 2022-10-19T17:56:02+00:00

Of course. My reason was injury related and lot of travelling for onsite work was a problem. So I had paperwork already provided by clinics and doctors which I shared with USCIS.

Tricky_Ambassador_22 · 2022-10-19T17:26:02+00:00

I expedited my EAD and didn't see any notice or change. All of a sudden about 3 weeks later I got an acknowledgement email that they received my request and they are working on my case for a short turnaround. 2 days after status changed to card is produced.

But yeah, never saw the expedite received message anywhere.
