How long is it taking to get employment authorization back when applying for AOS? We just sent in our forms today (Chicago lockbox). We are hoping that the employment authorization will come before the Permanent Residency (green card).

The typical answer is 3 months because that is what USCIS is saying, but I filed in late January, an received my approval today- 65 days later. Of course, you should always plan for 90 days or more, but it seems a lot of people getting approved now applied around 70 days ago.

I got mine in 59 days. It is 30-90 days from the date on your hardcopy NOA1, but it seems like people who do not have any RFEs are getting their EAD around the 60-65 day mark.

Good luck!

Mine took 81 days, technically though it was about 65 days as I wrote the wrong amount on the chq and had to resend the application.
