Hi everyone.

I'm just out of Social security office. I'll have my card in a few days. by then we'll be already married. Just wanna ask can I file for the EAD (I 765) before I send the I 465 for the Green card?

Thanks

I think you'll need to file your EAD concurrently with AOS or after you have filed for AOS.
You need a basis for work authorization (EAD) which is the AOS in this regard.
Hope this helps.

Yes, you will have no basis for filing for an EAD until you file for AOS. So file both together.

Kweli,

You can, but it's usually an exercise in frustration. The EAD that will result will expire when your 90-day authorized stay in the US expires - if the application is processed that quickly.
