Wondering about..

Ok.. so you file for AOS.. and it seems it takes like a couple months, then you get Green Card.. after you get green card are you free to work and travel out of usa and back? I know about this EAD and AP, but is that just for the time between filing AOS and recieving green card- if so whats the point in paying all those fees for just that small amount of time (couple months it seems). Tell me where Im lost here?

EAD and AP are interim benefits while the greencard is being processed.

Once you have the greencard in hand they are no longer needed.

There is no extra fee to apply for EAD and AP when you apply for AOS.

It may seem like AOS takes "a couple of months," but it doesn't always. Ours took about 4-and-a-half, that seemed to about the middle of a group that filed about the same time as us. But- some people who filed at that time (about 7 months ago) have not yet finished, and some people take a year or more.

So when you file for the Ajdustment of Satus, the EAD and the Ap are free of charge?. IS it recommended to file for AP even if you don't use it?.

Thanks,

So basicly if you can wait a couple of MONTHS (after AOS is approved you get green card right, I look at timelines and its like 2-3 months tops) for the green card then its best not to pay the fees for EAD and AP? Am I wrong when I look at these timelines or something, cause it seems pointless to spend $600+ on the EAD and AP just for couple of months of waiting time.

So hold up, when you file for the AOS ($1010) the EAD, and AP are free to file with it?

And as Zee Bee stated you never know. Image you do not file for AP and suddenly a family emergency happens back in Phil...... Get the AP and it does not cost you anything.
