This came up in the May filers thread so I figured I'd ask out here so more people see it...

Someone said they have to return their EAD (which was "in production" at the time of their interview) before their I-485 will be approved.

I haven't heard of this before. Does anyone know if that is standard procedure? I'm concerned because we will probably be in the same situation - no EAD at the time of the interview.

Thanks.

This is a myth. Unfortunately the monthly filers threads are rife with myth and paranoia because no other members read them. I was also given really bad information in a monthly filers thread, which is part of the reason I feel compelled to reply to these boards (and for a while I tried to read the monthly filers thread to avoid this but... it's hard :)).

You do not need to return your EAD to get your GC. Once you get the GC, the EAD is worthless (GC supersedes and replaces it). The EAD can be a fancy souvenir.

Total nonsense. My EAD arrived the day I had my AoS interview (found it it mailboxe when I returned from USCIS office). Still have it somewhere (had interview ~2 months after submitting docs).
