february 2009 aos filers

Woo...
Look at my timeline as well... 68 days from filing to interview on 4/21/09

I am in NH. We have not received EAD nor AP... Perhaps we can all forgo this and get the greencard in hands

Wouldn't that be something else?

now the stress starts - getting more stuff together for our interview

I guess I'm weird...I don't care about the AOS...I want me EAD. I have a job wanting to hire me but they have given me a 15 day window to get my EAD before they offer the job to someone else. I doubt I'll get such a sweet job offer later on. Grrr wish I could speed this up or come up with some method of taking the job even though I don't have the EAD yet. Job shadowing for a couple weeks or something? *sigh*

May 6th is when they say I should expect my EAD. 3 month waiting period.

I just read in the I-9 form which the employer has to fill out that if the EAD (proof of work authorisation) is not available at time of hiring then they have three days to provide the recipt for the application of the EAD and have to provide the EAD within 90 days after that. Is this possibly a loop hole?

[section 2, Employer: For the purpose of completing this form, the term "employer" means all employers including those recruiters and referrers for a fee who are agricultural associations, agricultural employers or farm labor contractors.Employers must complete Section 2 by examining evidence of identity and employment eligibility within three (3) business days of the date employment begins. If employees are authorized to work, but are unable to present the required document(s) within three business days, they must present a receipt for the application of the document(s) within three business days and the actual document(s) within ninety (90) days. However, if employers hire individuals for a duration of less than three business days, Section 2 must be completed at the time employment begins. Employers must record:

1. Document title;

2. Issuing authority;

3. Document number;

4. Expiration date, if any; and

5. The date employment begins.]

Hello,

I am a January filer but came to this forum to see the Feb filers timeline and see if I can offer some help based on my journey. I noted a quote about employers being allowed to give three days to employees who do not have their EAD card but I also noticed that it said "If employees are authorized to work, but are unable to present the required document." The EAD is the authorization to work so without it there is no three day timeframe to submit receipt for the application. I guess they mean in the event something unforeseen happen that makes them unable to present it for example if it is lost and they have asked for it to be replaced and have not yet recieved the replacement THEN they can show the receipt as proof that a replacement is on its way or something. Don't watch the wording about having 90 days to submit the actual card, its the IF employeed are AUTHORIZED to work that's the key phrase there. I hope that the card comes in time for you to get the job.

Most January filers have been getting their EAD cards within two months after the actual mailing of the application and our interview date within 3 months. I hope it will be the same for you Feb filers as well. Be blessed.

Thanks for the info. Helped a lot

That's great news! San Antonio is where we went for our honeymoon. It's sooo gorgeous there on the riverwalk. You have to stay atleast one night and check it out if you don't already live there.
