Why oh why do we not have the EAD card yet?!?!?!

It was sent to us on October 16th and it's still not here.

We went ahead and made an Infopass appointment.

Yeah - that does seem really weird - do you have to have card in hand before you can work???

Nice work Hydey - you don't hang about

They say allow up to 30 days, but it seems that everyone is getting them very quickly .. usually less than a week. Why don't you give them a call and ask them if they already mailed it to you?

That's what I would do.

You will soon. Hang in there.

Awesome Hydey. That's great! Can't wait to start working soon too.

P.S.: Jeraly - I am glad you got your things. Now you have some work to do .. putting everything away. So much fun!!! Right! LOL

Are you moving to a bigger place?

Wow...nice work everyone. Seems that the EADs and APs are getting approved at a quick rate.

Maybe I am jumping the gun, but I am starting to wonder if anyone has an idea when we can start to see AOS approvals? Anyone have any thoughts??

Hi everyone,

Congratulations to everyone who got their EADs and approved ones! I, too, am so eager to work . I might die of boredom.

I got a letter from USCIS today- Request for Applicant to Appear for Initial Interview...now this got me confused. I havent received my EAD and AP yet and I got this, and it says INITIAL interview. Is it normal to get the interview appointment first before the EAD and AP? And is this letter the "one" interview some of us are waiting for? It just sounds to me like I will have a series of it cause of the word initial.

Hope someone can help with it. Thanks.

Hi Jen,

My cousin had her interview before EAD and AP...she also received her greencard a few weeks after the interview. Praying you have the same results.

Congrats. I think that's how they usually refer to the first interview, because some people are sometimes asked to go for 2nd interviews. Otherwise you shouldn't worry about the term 'Initial'. And wow, you are lucky July and even some June filers havent recieved their ILs yet. what is your local DO?

[Jeraly 4]

GFL - We're looking to move next year sometime to a different State - we'll have to get jobs there and rent first to save for a mortgage but I can't wait to get our own place instead of renting - I just think it is going to take a while

I got hired without the SSN, show them the letter the SSN office gave you. (when you apply for it).

Jen,

I think you might be one of rare case where they approve GC before EAD. A really good friend of mine had that happen to her husband. He got the interview before work permit and everything. However, unfortunately they didn't approve right away because his FBI check wasn't back yet.

You can always give them a call and ask, it doesn't hurt.

Be positive about it.

Let us know what happens.

Girl, CA is sooooo expensive! My husband and I went broke while we were there. It's crazy. Everything is so much more expensive for you guys .. from food to gas .. rent.. Everything! I don't blame you for thinking about moving. Are you coming to the east coast?
