VERY URGENT!! EAD not received, have to start working (F-1)

[amitdce]

Hi,

My EAD card was sent to my old address, which I failed to update in time. I have been following up with USCIS for more than a month, but haven't been able to receive the card or the approval notice so far. I have to start working on Monday (Aug 11th), so this is really urgent!!

I can join and submit the EAD card within 90 days (as per the I-9), but my employer needs to see the approval letter (something which proves to them that my EAD case has been approved).

I do have the following which indicate my approved status:

1. My online status used to show that the case was approved (it said that the card was mailed to me). Now it has changed and says that a new letter (not the EAD card) has been mailed, but I won't get this letter till after Aug. 11th, my joining date. I do have a printout of the previous status, though.

2. I managed to get a letter from my university saying that my case has been approved.

3. I have the receipt notice, which shows that the case was submitted and received by USCIS.

My company still insisted that they would need a letter from USCIS saying that my case has been approved. Any advice on what I can do from here??

many thanks!!

Take an Inpass Appointment and Meet local USCIS officer and ask for help... Letter or Duplicate EAD. If you have a Job Offer letter they Might expedite the EAD Request..
