What happens then? No movement on the EAD but lots of touches on the other. If the AOS is approved does that automatically include a work permit?

darlene,

LPRs are allowed to work in the USA - it's one of the benefits that comes with the status.

Once you receive your greencard, you don't need a work permit anymore!

Hi Darlene,

We're in the same boat as you....they scheduled our AOS interview and they haven't given us our EAD yet.

Once he gets his green card he won't even need it.... *sigh* I will never understand the ways of USCIS.

Things are moving great with the AOS and it looks like that will get approved first. At this point I don't care, just approve one of them. Hubby's last day of work is tomorrow until whenever.....

Hi,

The following is my timeline:

Feb 7, 07: EAD application sent
Feb 13, 07: Application reached to Chicago, IL
Feb 20, 07: NAO1
Feb 23, 07: transfer to Vermont
March 6, 07: bioappointment at Newark, NJ
March 11, 07: touch

nothing else...

Was your application transferred to Vermont too? Hopefully, I will get my soon. I have a job offer in hand and just waiting for my card...

Most people in this thread are filing for EAD along with AOS so there EAD does not get sent to vermont.... it is processed at MSC/NBC... so you can not compare their timelines to your own....

So, mine will take much longer then others?

No it should not take any longer.... but as your EAD forms have been forwarded to Vermont you can not compare it to someone who's EAD is being delt with by MSC/NBC as it is 2 diffrent places....

You can check the USCIS website for processing times for Vermont and this should give you some idea of how long it may take...

Thank you very much for the info. They are processing receipt date of January 27, 2007 as of April 18th. Hopefully, mine will be soon.

My husband's EAD was approved on April 26th, card mailed on the 27th, received on the 30th and of course has Green card was approved on May 1st.
They got an extra $185 out of me but it was well worth it.

Claudeth's AOS was approved a couple of months after her EAD so it was kind of a waste of money for us to have even filed for the EAD, she didn't go to work until after her GC arrived anyway
