My advice is: Don't try that!

I came with a k-3 and applyed for the EAD before the AOS ( on December 4th 2006) and what happened is that everybody that applyed together was approved, but me. It's being 4 months and no RFE has been sent and no response either. If I could go back in time I would wait and apply for AOS and EAD together.

I hope it helps you

hicham913,

It's an excellent idea for a K3 to apply for EA before they apply for AOS.

You do not have to wait for your wife's I-130 to be approved before you can apply for AOS.

Yodrak

Adriana,

Make an InfoPass appointment with your District or Sub office to ask about the status of your EA application. It's possible that the USCIS service center has screwed it up.

Why not just apply for AOS and include the EAD in with that? Just include the I-130 NOA1 with the application to prove that you have applied for it, it doens't need to be approved for your to apply for AOS (despite what the form may indicate).

I also think they've screwed it up. And I've been trying to schedule an Infopass for one month here in South Carolina, and I always receive the same message:"At this time, there are no information appointments available for the office in your area. Please try back again later. "

Someone told me that in one of the Offices here you don't need an appt, you just walk in and they will talk to you. That's what I am going to try now. I hope it works.

Thanks for the advice anyway. :innocent:

Dr_LHA,

One reason would be that EA applied for on the basis of (a)(9) is good until 2 years from the date of entry as a K3, while EA applied for on the basis of ( c)(9) is good for 1 year.

True. However it seemed that the OP was under the impression they couldn't file I-485 yet because their I-130 was in process, which is why I posted that.
