Applying before AOS will be under category A ( 6 ) and the EAD card will expire with your I-94 (you won't even get it before the I-94 expires, on or about 12/05/08 for you). Applying with AOS will be under category C ( 9 ) and will result in a one year EAD card.

What happens if they wait to file for their EAD only after the I-94 has expired? :huh:

In this case without the I-485, they would no longer be eligible to apply for one, and therefore it would be simply denied.

meaning, I should apply both at the same time so my EAD will have it's 1 year expiry.... thank you for such a quick reply 'payxibka'

Wish I had known about this! I applied for my EAD on my K1 and now my K1 has expired and I have been denied working authorization! Very frustrating! I recommend just waiting and filing with your change of status application!

Good luck!
