I filed my marriage AOS package April 2020 and currently waiting for my EAD. For the last 8 years, through extensions, I've been working with an O-1B visa that will be expiring mid August. At this point, my lawyer advice me to just wait or expedite my EAD and not extend my O-1 due to the USCIS last action rule or something like that.
I tried expediting my EAD through USCIS (employer wrote a letter explaining severe financial hardship losing me as an employee) 2 weeks ago and got a denial stating " our records indicate that we are awaiting for biometrics processing. your case is currently in suspense or on hold until we receive your biometrics " Which I was expecting honestly.
Last Saturday, I FINALLY received my Biometrics appointment for August 6.
While all of this is going on, i'm making a package to send to my local congressman to expedite my EAD now here is my question...
Should I pursue reaching out to a Senator or Congressman about my case AFTER my biometrics is complete? Or just proceed to do it anyway before my fingerprints is taken?
