OK guys I'm a bit confused here and need a little help. So we got the notification for EAD card production on Feb 6th and still looking out in the mail for the actual card. However, we received a notice of our Approved AP which was a letter stating what it was and that we should not lose it and use it for re-entry. But I thought that AP & EAD was a combo card. Am I wrong? Please enlighten me.

You are right, the AP & EAD is a combo card. Maybe you just received the AP letter and you will be getting another notice for the EAD as they are separate and you will get the card once you receive the EAD notification.. You can try to contact USCIS and see what they say. Hopefully someone else can reply to your question here. ;-) Good luck!

Just got a text and email that my wife's EAD and AP were approved.

Hi everyone! Me and my husband are filing for my AOS. Case was received on Dec 15th and I had biometrics done on Jan 16th in Elizabeth,NJ. On Jan 22nd the status changed to THE CASE IS READY TO SCHEDULE FOR AN INTERVIEW. Didn't receive any notice about EAD.. Waiting. Hopefully it will come soon! I can't wait to start working and go to school!

Anybody from NJ here? I was wondering what's the estimate time to get EAD :)

Good luck everyone!

My RFE was because I did not include my tax transcript, only my W-2 and a letter from my Employer stating my yearly wage. I now included the transcript I got from the IRS website and so far haven't received anything (no news is good news I hope!) How about yours?
