Question on EAD

[brightside 0]

HI all,

We have my AOS interview on 13th March. We filed in 3rd week of december 06.

I was wondering what action if any is taken my USCIS regrading EAD at the day of the interview considering that I get stuck in namecheck or I am approved but no GC stamp.

Couple Scenarios after interview:

If approved - do they give EAD if requested stating that there is a good job offer that I dont wanna miss?

OR if approved - can we request GC stamp considering the job offer?

Although, the problem is that my EAD is still not out of the 90 days processing at the day of the AOS interview, and I have read before that all EAD related stuff is only handled by NBC and not local DO. ??

Thanks!!

P.S. Just saw that my 485 and 130 were touched today..but, there was no touch for EAD....do you guys think that this touch was my AOS files reaching local DO for our interview???

If you're not approved at the interview, you will most likely get your EAD around the 90 day mark. If you are approved, ask for the stamp so you can start work. If they refuse to give you the stamp, you might be stuck in a situation where your EAD isn't coming and your Green Card hasn't arrived yet, depending no how long it takes them to send the Green Card. Usually its quick, but sometimes (e.g. in my case) it can take a couple of months after approval at interview.

I would hope I was approved on the 13th and ask for the temporary stamp because of the pending job

In many cases you may receive EAD prior to your interview, if that is the case the IO may ask for you to turn it in to them.

They asked my wife for hers and we " conveniently Forgot it" and left it at home so we could not give it to them.

The reason we did not bring it to the interview is because we had heard they sometimes ask for it.

she did not get her GC Card until Dec. 2 months after interview so having her EAD card allowed us to get other things done such as SS Card and alifornia Drivers Liscense.
