no it will not affect your AOS application. it's just an option that gives you authorization to work even if you don't have your GC yet.

so if you don't have plans of working before your GC arrives, then you don't need to apply for it, and when you get your GC you don't need it anymore because having your GC gives you authorization to work.

You won't be able to get a SS card. No working, No drivers license etc. May's as well apply since the EAD and AP applications are free with the I-485.

Hi Confusedgal,

I was one of those people that DID NOT file the I-765 (EAD/work permit) when I filed my AOS a few years ago....And my AOS was still approved.

At the time I applied, I was in no hurry to get a job right away, and so decided to save the money (when I applied a few years ago, this was a separate I-765 $130 fee along with the AOS fee, not as a together included package as it is now for the AOS which includes the I-765 for $1000+) by not opting to do such...

Waste of time and money anways to go for the I-765, as co-incidently a lot of other vjers get both the I-765 and green card approved at around the same time (and even the I-765 approved after the green card...definitely not of use there...)

But if you are in a hurry to work before you get your green card....then yes, file for the I-765...(besides, it's included with the I-485/AOS nowadays anyways...)

See my vj timeline for more info..

Hope this helps. Good luck with the rest of your journey too.

I opt not file AP and I-765 coz the one who's helping us filing the paper wants to charge a lot if we included it.. That's why i chose not to file it yet.. If filing AOS will not be affected without it. I'd rather wait till my GC arrive.. The only problem that I'm really worried is not to get my Approval within 6 months.. I need to get my baby in my home country b4 my k1 visa one year end.. That's why im asking if it will affect my AOS.. Coz im worried to have delay and not to get my baby by april 2010

Hope this helps. Good luck with the rest of your journey too.

Be SURE and file the I-131 for advanced parole in case the GC doesn't come thru. You can at least go home and return after you get your baby then.

So it does mean that i need to ask additional 615 bucks to my husband.. Coz the filing fee for I-131 is 315 and the one who will help us wants me to charge 300 for additional paperwork of I-131.. wahhh.. Im getting shy asking money from him.. Coz he spent a lot of money for this.. Goshhh

See the price of the I-765 has only risen to $340.00 now, not much more than it was about six years ago. Also see they used the same biometrics with photo for my wife's EAD card as they did for her conditional card. She was like a prisoner here, especially with that incredibly stupid AMA that only our Senator Feingold was against, he said he read it.

It took seven months from the time I filed the I-130 and all the other forms till the time she received her conditional permanent resident card, did file for the I-751 that we received four months after the I-130, so that gave her three more months of freedom, like getting a conditional SS card so I could add her to my bank accounts, she got her drivers' license with that, and was able to get a job. Good woman, she realized how much money I spent to get her over here and felt obligated, especially for the support of her daughter that she also brought with her. Getting her daughter here was extremely expensive for me, but I didn't mind.

So depending on how slow the USCIS is in processing your application, the I-765 may buy you some freedom, was worth the price to me. Also applied for my step daughter, while it was legal for her to go to school with the NOA, was more security for her. Wife is a USC now, daughter has to wait 8 more months, but still trying to get my wife's unmarried over 21 son here. That may take forever the way the DOS and USCIS moves. I love it when Bush talked about family values as do all the rest of the republicans. Don't know if Obama is any different.

this is not true for all states, i only just now filed for AOS and i have a ssn already in my married name, i also got my drivers license before i got my ssn and car insurance as well before i had my ssn. the only difference is that when you get your GC you need to go to the SSN office and get your card changed as right now the ssn is not for working and says it in black letters on the card.
