Hello,
I have kind of emergency situation, I appreciate any feedback you you guys can provide in this case. My current EAD is expiring on 8/18/06 and I applied for renewal on 6/18/06 (RD 6/20/06) at NSC, it got transferred to local Detroit office on 07/20/06 (my 485 is also at Detroit office). Since I wasn't sure if I can get it approved by 8/18, I took an Infopass appointment to speak to an Immigration officer, which was yesterday.
The officer told me obviously it is not past 90 days, so he cannot do anything about my case, then I explained I would lose my job if I don't have a valid EAD card. He said if it doesn't get approved by normal process, I can come on 8/18 with a letter from my employer stating that I will loose my job and seek for an approval. My questions are:
1) I know I applied late, but can I still get the approval on 8/18? what docs I can present and what argument I can make that might help the approval? Can someone provide me a draft letter that I can get from employer?
2) What are my other options, is there any? - going through senator (which I read about in lot of immigration forums), premium processing, H1??
3) Is there a chance it might get approved through normal process before 8/18?
Please provide me your suggestions.
Regards
