Filed: Timeline

Hey guys,

Filed for EAD, separately from AOS, in the second week of March and got the biometric done in the second week of April. However, no news since then, and I have a job I have to start within a couple of weeks that will be in danger if I don't get my EAD in time which is making me nervous as hell. I see in this thread, and even in the april filers thread, that people who have similar timelines have both their AOS and EAD approved. Don't understand what's going on with my application. Maybe I should've applied both AOS and EAD together. Is there anything I can do to get this EAD on time? I desperately need this job and don't want to lose it. :crying:

Because you filed for EAD before AOS, it is a different classification. You would only be given a temporary EAD that would last as long as your 1-94 (90 days after your arrival into the United States which has already passed). The reason your EAD is getting nowhere is that it's already expired. You file for EAD at the same time or after you file for AOS because you are filing under the category of someone adjusting their status. This grants you a year-long EAD within 90 days.

If this is correct, you have wasted $180. E-file for EAD as soon as possible if you want to work in the next few months.

Since you're an April filer for AOS, you'd get a better idea of the timeline for AOS there. And if you have to file for EAD this month, watch the June filer thread to see the timeline for that.

I'm sorry that the process confused you, but EAD should always be sent in with the AOS package.

Ahh...k-3. I don't know anything about K-3, so you'd be best asking around in the EAD/AP forum and making an infopass appointment.
