EAD arrival and CSC speed

[newent7 0]

From everyone's experience, would it be possible for then EAD to arrive before August 2nd, 2010? This is when my wife's job offer expires and all we are waiting for is the EAD.

Timeline:

- May 24, 2010: AOS / I-765 package received (we applied from her K-1 visa)

- June 25th, 2010: Online notice that I-485 was transferred to the California Service Center from the NBC

- June 28th, 2010: Biometrics done in Baltimore, MD local office (for both I-485 & I-765)

- June 28th, 2010: I-485 and I-765 touched via "Last Updated" status online (presumably due to Biometrics completed?)

An aside, can she start working once we get approval or only when the EAD is in hand? Not clear if a approval notice or card product document is sufficient to being working.

It would be horrible to lose this wonderful job opportunity..

Thanks!!! Any and all insight is greatly appreciated.

It might make it by that time. I filed for EAD Feb 3 and received it in April, thats fast considering I had an RFE which took 20 days. so if you take out the 20 days, it was approved in as little as 30 days. and she needs the actual EAD before she can really work. they would want to see her documentation before anybody will hire her. but the EAD arrives quick. Mine got approve on march 25 and I received it on April 4. good luck. im pretty positive she 'll get it by Aug 2nd
