Hi,

 

My husband arrive on a `K1 visa, got married April 12, and filled for I765, I485, I131 on May 4th. We just got his I485 interview date. However we have not received the EAD yet. Is this normal? Do you think we will receive the EAD before the interview?

He may, depends on when his interview is. If he has his interview before his EAD is approved then that's all that matter his green card instantly makes the EAD useless. EAD takes on average 90days to approve

Consider yourself EXTREMELY lucky you had such a short wait. EAD means nothing at this point. He will get his green card, which is more important.

I wish it was, but it looks like your local USCIS field office isn't as backed up as most right now. It's entirely possible to get the green card before they adjudicate the I-765 or I-131.

Also wanted to add the interview date is September 25th. So we are trying to figure out when I should quit my job. He has a job offer but we have to move so I have to quit. I actually already quit but they are letting me stay until our interview date. I’m wondering if we will get his work permit or green card by Oct 1. Thoughts?

 

And they did a weird thing on the NOA...they put his name and then c/o “his dads name.” His dad lives in Italy so that was a mistake. I went through all our forms and it was definitely their mistake. Any advice on moving forward with this mistake?
