If my husband receives his green card/adjustment of status, will he be able to work without filing for a work authorization? :help:

The reason I ask is this, we filed for his work authorization, but I filed it under a K-1 instead of an adjustment applicant and after waiting over 100 days, we received a denial for the work authorization because of my error. This denial was only received last week and our interview for the adjustment of status is only a month away. So, I need to know if I should be applying for his work authorization or if that is something that comes with his greencard without us re-applying for it.

PLEASE HELP!! :yes:

There's probably no point in applying for the EAD now as your interview is coming up in a couple of months. Once you are approved and receive the green card, that will give you the authorization you need to work.

After receiving the GC, you are able to work and travel freely. No EAD or AP is required.
