Hey everyone!

I entered the USA on August 26th 2008 and applied for AOS at the end of September. And now I surprisingly received my permanent resident card in the mail after less than 6 months wait and no interview. I am really happy about this but also a little confused since I was expecting it to take much longer (and I had lots of troubles with my EAD which arrived just a month prior to my green card).

Well, I have some questions: does this permanent resident card "replace" my EAD. I mean, does the permanent resident card function as a work authorization document or do I need both. My EAD is only valid till the end of 2008. So do I have to file for a renewal?

Thanks so much for your help.

Your status as a Permanent Resident is work authorised.

Green-card is work authorization. EAD card is only for when you are a NON-Immigrant, NON-Resident. You are a resident now, and the I-551 Green-card authorizes you for work.

OUR TIME LINE Please do a timeline it helps us all, thanks.

Is now a US Citizen immigration completed Jan 12, 2012.
