To the OP,

The immigration process demands a great deal of knowledge, planning, time, patience, and money.  A deficit  in any of those areas can mean delays and/or failure.  

"The US immigration process requires a great deal of knowledge, planning, time, patience, and a significant amount of money.  It is quite a journey!"

In summary, it took 13 months for approval of the CR-1.  It took 44 months for approval of the I-751.  It took 4 months for approval of the N-400.   It took 172 days from N-400 application to Oath Ceremony.   It took 6 weeks for Passport, then 7 additional weeks for return of wife's Naturalization Certificate..

Shame on you for trying to make someone feel stupid for using a forum “incorrectly”. I was told invalid information from a trusted source, and came here to discuss the discrepancies between what I was told vs what I read on the form/application and government websites. This process is overwhelming, confusing, and extremely stressful for people just getting started. Please bear that in mind as YOU go forward. 

Obviously they are not a "trusted source" if literally everything they told you is incorrect. Just sayin'

Quick summary: My husband (U.S citizen) and I filed the I-130 petition for me- a spouse living outside of the U.S (currently in Canada). Our I-130 has not yet been approved, but we did receive the NOA. 
 

My question is- once the I-130 is approved, can I (the beneficiary, wife living outside of the U.S) submit the EAD (I-795) when we submit the green card application? I have heard and read several different answers. We filed with SimpleCitizen and they told us I would be able to submit the EAD, but I’ve read elsewhere that is not an option if I’m filing from outside the U.S.  Help! I would really love to know if I am looking at a few months before I am in the U.S after filing the I-795, or if I’ll be in Canada for +1 year until my green card application is approved. 

Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated! We are NEW to this and learning as we go.  Thank you! 

You will be in Canada until your immigrant visa is issued.

Once you enter the US on your immigrant visa you are work eligible

You will not have a step (or even be qualified to) apply for an EAD card
