AP/Work Authorization/ Adjustment Question

[kutakendra 3]

We just got my husband's AP/Work Authorization.

1. It is the same card. Is that correct?

2. He was moved to California from Chicago, at the beginning. Does that mean he will not be interviewed? We have heard nothing about an interview. It has been 7 weeks since Biometrics.

3 What does it mean when the card says he needs to reapply 90 days before expiration next year? Is that removal of conditions?

Thanks.

Be sure and change your address, most likely you will get an interview for the AOS, but if not you are so lucky. If you got a combo bard it will show both. You might want to update your status and what you have filed for, it will assist others in helping you. Good Luck.

Moving to AOS from family based visa.

AP/EAD is not the same as a greencard. Removal of Conditions is something you have to do with the GC, not with EAD/AP. Your EAD/AP combo card is valid until you have a decision on your GC - if the GC is issued, the EAD/AP becomes invalid and unnecessary as well. Should your AOS still be pending when you are 90 days from the current AP/EAD is about to expire, you can apply to extend them. If your GC is issued before that combo card expires (which it most likely will), you do not need the AP/EAD anymore.

1. Yes.

2. Not necessarily. His file can still be transferred back to his home office for interview but you could get lucky (like many people did - including me) and not have one. As for 7 weeks.. it can take longer than that

3. As little_my said, if you don't get your GC before that card is 90 days from expiration you can apply for a free replacement. Once you get your GC the EAD/AP combo card is no longer valid (but if you're out of the country at the time your GC is approved you can still use the card to get back in).
