AOS & EAD Feb. 2008 Filers

[Leafgal 3]

I start work today! I'm so excited to be making some extra money. I'm working at Jamba Juice, it's a smoothie place. Not the most exciting job in the world but it's a good job while I'm still attending classes and waiting to graduate in December. Then I can really start bringing home some money!

Congrats that is great, I bet you feel like a million bucks.

Hi, I am fairly certain you can actually legally work without the card for 90 days as long as you can show them an approval notice. Check the I-9 Verification Requirements, it says it on there. You have to show approval within 3 days and the actual card within 90 days. The mysteries of immigration!

omg!!!!

look at the list!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes - THANKS so much for keeping the list AnthonyJulie. It's awesome. I have been feeling really, really sorry for myself the last week b/c I have had no touches since my bio and it seemed like everyone else was getting EAD and AP approval emails....but the once I actually looked at your list I can see that others in the same timeframe as me are in the same boat. So helpful...and calmed me down. THANK YOU for doing such a great job - you're the best!

How long does it usually take to actually receive your card in the mail after the CRIS email saying that card production was ordered? Thanks for any responses!

Thats only for people who have filed for a replacement card.

A k1 visa holder can't work until USCIS has authorized them to work - either via the POE stamp or the EAD card. If you read anywhere that the K1 is "work authorized" then you're reading something from the SSA, not USCIS, and it doesn't count (SSA don't make the decision about whether you can work, just whether you can have an SSN)

read the "Working and travelling prior to getting a green card" forum. This issue is constantly battled.

When you receive the email from CRIS saying card production ordered or EAD approval notice sent, you can show that and it's valid, then when you get the card in the mail, you show them that. My husband had two job offers and that is what they requested and they had immigration specialists providing the info in HR. I didn't mean you can work on just the K-1 Visa...only when you get that approval from USCIS.

Got this email on the third,

The I485 APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS was transferred and is now pending standard processing at a USCIS office.

Not sure if this means Atlanta or what. Edited April 7, 2008 by roverdriver

I would guess it means your local. I have not had any touches on my AOS or EAD since transfer/biometrics, so thinking I may get the same email soon as well, time will tell I guess.
