Hi CJ's,

we had our biometrics on May 21. passed the RFE for I-485 on the 20th of May. Does anybody know the time frame for EAD? does RFE affect or delay it? thank you so much

It's only May 24 you have at least 2 weeks to wait for EAD

An RFE is supposed to halt processing on all petitions/applications (including the EAD) The RFE notice would have noted this. Once the RFE is satisfactorily responded to, processing should resume on all petitions/applications.

Sometimes (it seems) processing stops, sometimes it doesn't - at any rate - any delay would be for the length of time it took to satisfactorily respond.

It takes 60-90 days to get EAD, and during the RFE time you're on time-out.. With this process all we can do is be patient..

I guess, it would take more than 90 days before EAD comes because of the RFE from I-485. i didn't know it would halt the process because of the RFE. i thought its because its a different application, it would go on by its own. its really sad

Put your timeline in your signature so you don't continue posting it in posts.

The I-765 IS a different form and different application BUT it's dependent on you being eligible to AOS. When you get an RFE for the AOS that's saying you're not eligible which means no I-765 or I-131 for you until you reply to the RFE and make yourself eligible again. If you don't get an RFE they assume you're still eligible and you'll get it while waiting for the GC.
