Is it okey that im going to file an EAD before filing the AOS as K-3? anyway as far as i know i can file an AOS within 2 years as what the lady from immigration at port of entry told me, where is much better Efile or mail? because i tried to use Efile but until now the status was " action needed" i emailed to E-Filing.Support@dhs.gov already but until now i dont have any reply from them, anybody knows? thank you....

EAD APPLICATION:

2009-01-10 ----- E-filed EAD Application

2009-01-20 ------NOA1 Receipt Notice

2009-01-22 ------Biometrics appointment recieved by mail

2009-02-11-------Biometrics Date (done smoothly)

2009-4-15 -------- EAD Approved

2009-4-24 -------- EAD Received by mail ( yyyeeeeessssss)

Don't rely on their email...it will take forever for them to reply. Anyways, I have no idea about K-3 visa but if I were you, I would suggest that file your EAD along with your AOS as the cost of EAD is already included in your AOS application fee.

"Have faith in God, Jesus answered. I'll tell you the truth. if anyone says to this mountain, Go, throw yourself to the sea, and that does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen. it will be done for him. Therefore I'll tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours" (MARK 11:22-24)

yes it is ok to file EAD first before AOS but you just have to pay additional $340 for it. My husband already filed for EAD as soon as he arrived here on K3 visa. we will file for AOS the month before our 2nd anniversary this coming august so that he will get a 10 yr green card. K3 visa expires in 2 yrs. so we have plenty of time to wait to filing the AOS.
