Hi all,

Just got the NOA for EAD this morning (application filed together with AOS docs)

supposing somebody hires me, can i start working before i get my actual EAD?

im rather confused because i think i read somewhere that as long as you have the NOA showing you applied for EAD, you have 90 days to submit the actual work permit

is that true for some but not for K-1 people?

thanks much for clarifying...

nope, you need the EAD to start working.
And it's not a guarantee you'll get your work permit within the 90 days, unfortunately.

But of course, no one is stopping you for looking for work or even talking to employers. If you're lucky they'll tell you to get back in touch with them after you get your EAD.

You are not employment authorised until the I-765 is approved and you receive your EAD....
