Hi! We filed for my husband's AOS (Adjustment of Status) via marriage the first week of January, with the help of a lawyer living out of state. It has all been going well and incredibly fast, and after only 6 weeks from filing, my husband already had his biometrics taken, and his EAD (Employment Authorization Document) card is on its way! But, we just realized our lawyer did not send us the form I-131 for AP (Advanced Parole) 😤, meaning that we never signed nor filed it. (Note: his I-485 is still pending and we have not gotten a notice for the interview). My two questions are:
1. Does the EAD card come as an EAD/AP combo even when we didn't file the I-131 form?

2. Is it worth filing an I-131 even after having his EAD card and while waiting for the I-485 approval? We do have a couple of important family events abroad coming up we'd like to attend.

 

Thanks!

Your attorney has failed you.  Advance Parole will not be granted without submitting an I-131.  Submit it ASAP along with the receipt showing you previously filed an I-485.

Let us know when he gets his EAD, you are about to set a record.
