Hi everybody!
I have been reading these posts, thanks for helping many of us. These posts have helped me a lot and people here have provided me with more information than my own attorney.
I am in the same situation as many of you. I filed for my EAD renewal after it expired. I filed it in January of 2007. I am currently at home not working waiting for my EAD to be processed in Texas, it has been 46 days already since it was filed and I have not heard from USCIS yet. I only have the initial notice with RD of 01/19/07.
These are my questions:
1.- Since it has been more than 45 days since I filed my EAD renewal, can I contact TSC to find out why I have not received a second notification letter?
What second notification you haven't received? do you mean FP notice? 2.- Should I submit a request for my EAD to be expedited? If so, what's the criteria for them to consider expediting my EAD?
See the USCIS link http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/us...=a9243529fdb7e010VgnVCM1000000ecd190aRCRD[/B] 3.- Once I-765 is approved, can they FEDEX my EAD to me if I agree to pay for the cost of the shipping fees?
This is up to the operator who will answer your call, there is no rule. Sometimes they may say yes and most of the time NO
4.- Once I-765 is approved, can I start working with the approval notice? I know I can call USCIS and get the validity dates for my EAD until the card comes in the mail. Would the approval notice and the validity dates allow me to start working?
This is up to the employer and if he/she is willing to help, it's a favor that you asking but not by the law.
Thanks in advance for any assistance and guidance you can provide me with.
Good Luck Fatima
