EAD after 77 days

[jaya_razz 20]

I would like to seek guidance on how I should go about things. I was on B2 visa and filed concurrently i130 and i485 last Sept 26. My case was received and I got all 1797C forms. i did my biometrics last 11/09 and have not heard from USCIS after that. I did call them today and was told to wait until 90 days will pass. But then later on, I was told that I can make an InfoPass. Here are my questions:

a) what will infopass do?

b) can I start applying for jobs with my current status?

c) should I wait for another week before I make another call?

Thank you for your responses.

You can do an online request regarding your EAD since it's over 75 days.

Yes you can apply all you want but you can't art working before you have your EAD in hand.

i thought that the average was 90days

It is.

Right now most have it in hand by day 90 but after day 75 it is allowed to do a service request.

thank you for the quick response Georgia16. I just need to make a follow up: is online request similar to an infopass? or is it the same as using the submit an online case inquiry tool in the USCIS page?

I don't know what other options you can pick from but yes I think that should be correct.

Some people have reported getting EDA with GC so they are backed up.

Update: i filed for a service request online. I did receive two emails. First: with the reference number and saying that notice of action will be done shortly Second: saying that a designated officer was assigned to the case for a response
