Expedited EAD???

[MsGhassemi]

I submitted the form to replace my expired EAD; I'm still waiting for the replacement; but i may need to apply for an expedited EAD because of an illness of a family member, and if so I am wondering if i get an expedited EAD what happens to the process of my pending EAD? (i heard an expedited EAD is only valid for one month so i need one for a longer period still)

Also, i want the expedited EAd because my cousin is very ill; do you think im going to get is since it is not a direct relative (parents or siblings)?

I think you are confused. EAD is a work permit permit. I assume you are hoping to go and see your cousin, in which case you would need to apply for Advanced Parole (AP) in order to leave the country.

As far as i'm aware, AP will only be expedited in the case of an immediate family member e.g. child, sibling, parent. You would also need to evidence of the serious illness.
