In order to be hired you'll need the EAD. That being said given the economy it might be a good idea to begin looking if you think it will be hard to find a job and your in the line of work that doesn't demand starting right away.

When did you apply for ead

"VALID FOR WORK ONLY WITH INS AUTHORIZATION" indicating to an employer that you must also have an unexpired EAD to be eligible to work.

The Visa FAQs are very comprehensive, if you read the relevant FAQs for your Visa, you'll know what to expect.

Hope this is helpful.

Also, if you were to look at any employment application, most will tell you that they required two types of ids that prove that you can work in the usa....social security number is one, and the other one is your greencard or EAD. SS# alone is not enough proof to work in the usa.

How much longer should it be? We applied for my greencard. Now I have my biometrics in a week but nothing has come back about an EAD?

It will take about 90 days. You can schedule an INFOPASS and that may free it loose if your beyond 90 days.
