Work Permit Expediting FAQ
How long should I wait before expediting my EAD?
Many filers wait at least 6 months beyond the normal processing time before filing a mandamus lawsuit for employment authorization.
Can I work while my mandamus case is pending?
You cannot work until you receive your approved EAD card. However, mandamus typically results in faster EAD processing.
What if my EAD expires while waiting?
You can include EAD renewal applications in the same mandamus lawsuit if they are also unreasonably delayed.
