Now that I've decided to take work with my Canadian employer, my EAD has been approved!! Yaaay!

Anyway, it'll still be nice as I can apply for a SS# now and get a bank account etc... So, even though I won't be looking for a job here soon, it's still great that it was approved so quickly.

Just wanted to let everyone know that my experience with e-file was amazing! It was all approved in 45 days!

SO, I have a quick question, the approval notice was sent out yesterday, does that mean the actual EAD card is on it's way too?

From the USCIS website, you have an option to electronically (e-file) some of the immigration and benefits forms (opposed to mailing paper forms to the service center). As far as I know, you can e-file Advanced Parole and Employment Authorization forms. I'm not sure which others you can e-file. I THINK e-filed forms go to the National Service Center (at least mine did).

I paid with credit card and it was all done within 45 days. I got my first NOA only a week or so after filing and had my biometrics appointment only 3 weeks later. It was a pretty painless process overall!

Not sure if e-filing is more advantageous than paper filing but for me, I didn't file EAD with my AOS so it worked out nicely.

Haha! That's what my husband said! Instead, I went straight to the Social Security office to apply for a SS#. It feels so weird - never thought I'd be getting one of those.

It's pure irony that I'm still going to be working for my Canadian employer... it's nice to have the option to apply for work here now though.

Nice and fast! Congratulations! I don't know that K-1's are allowed to file on-line...do you? Good to hear everything turned out...good information!
