On April 12, USCIS began to work with my application for Employment Authorization and Advance Parole Card for Adjustment of Status Applicants. How long does it take to receive it?

You have a while. EAD and AP generally take about 90 days.

 

You should have a biometrics appointment sometime within next month most likely. 

 

The entire I-485 process takes about 10-12 months on average.

06/30/2016 : I-129F Packet Sent

11/08/2016 : Interview - APPROVED!

The EAD and AP card generally takes around 90 days for them to approve, right now some people have experienced a wait of up to 120 days. After approval it can take up to 30 days for them to produce the card and deliver it. There are also some people who receive it faster, but they do seem to be slow processing right now.

 

If you get a job offer you can attempt to expedite the EAD, I submitted a service request to expedite my EAD based on financial loss as I had a job offer the first week of April and was approved yesterday (in 64 days) so now I am just waiting to receive it. Not all expedite requests are successful though. I have not received any updates to my AP status as of yet, so I am unsure of whether I will receive a standard EAD card or a combo EAD/AP card.

We just did an expedite and the approval notice came for both EAD and AP even though only EAD was requested expedited. The card was mailed today.
