Hi there, I am wondering.... i just checked my case at uscis website and my I485 case says that I have an interview on April 14,2016 and they will send me the letter regarding that but still no update regarding my EAD and Travel permit. Is it possible that they will mail it to me together with the interview appointment letter? I took my biometrics last january 28 but still no update on my ead and travel permit. I have a job opportunity waiting for me and the owner cannot wait for me anymore :'(

Thanks

Sounds like they're going to give you the GC before the EAD/AP. I am not sure if they will even bother approving your EAD/AP when you have an upcoming GC interview. Use the search function and see how it went for others in this situation.

Maria is right. Sometimes people get the GC before EAD> If thats the case (the GC is approved) then the EAD process stops as you dont need EAD when you have a GC.

For those in specific timelines like you- where the interview is set- and honestly its over a month away- technically your EAD processing should continue until the GC is issued. It doesnt automatically stop when the interview letter is granted. However EAD processing is currently taking right up to the 90 days. When did you apply?

There is a chance that your EAD will get pushed to the bottom of the pile when they see you have an interview pending esp with the current workload. The only option I can see is since you have a pending job offer to look into expediting the EAD based on that. There are a few forum posts about it if you search. Otherwise keep waiting and watching the status.

Most people are approved at the interview on the spot. It will then take some time to get the card afterwards so if you dont pursue the expedite or dont get the EAD before the interview it will be a while before you are able to work.

Thank you so much. I sent the application last Dec 22, 2015 and they received it Dec 28. I read that the EAD and AP are processed up to 90 days. Is it fine if I call USCIS to expedite my EAD since I have a job offer pending already? i do not want to start working unless I have proper documentations with me. And my case for my EAD and AP in USCIS website is not updated. I have received the receipt number already but in the website it said that they received my application for that case.
