Congratulations on your marriage! EAD card takes approximately 2-3 months. My husband didn't receive his until a week before our AOS interview, but that's not normal. Secondly, no you cannot work until you receive your EAD card. That is your legal work authorization until a decision is made on your AOS case. What visa did you enter with?

Your EAD is your work authorization ....gotten while you wait for the AOS to be processed and approved. AP is the advanced parole used for reentry into the USA after travel....gotten while you wait for the AOS to be processed and approved. Both the EAD and the AP are applied for at no additional charge when you apply for the AOS. They take on average 2 to three months to get approved. With out the EAD approval you can NOT work in the US. With out the AP you can not gain entry back into the US. A lot of folks get their AP and EAD in a couple months and then other it takes three or four months. There then are those who get the Green card before the AO and EAD. Then you have the ones who get the green card and the combo card for the AP and EAD in the mail on the same day....like we did. The processing times vary quite a bit and that isnt including any RFE's you may get. Good luck with your journey.

You can stand me at the gates of hell, but I wont back down.
