Can you work after AoS w/o EAD?

[Dave_n_Genna 0]

We recently applied for my wife's AoS (via K-1) w/o including the EAD application. (I wanted to get the AoS going, and didnt have the extra bits for EAD collected.)

My question is, after the AoS interview and the acceptance, can she then work w/o an EAD?

Is the EAD only necessary for the waiting period?

Thx for any help!

As long as she has her greencard she does not need a EAD. Also make sure she goes back to the SSA and gets the restriction removed off her SSN Card.

EAD is an interim benefit between application and the approval of permanent residency

And they all come within 2 weeks of each other.

At least in our case Advanced Parole, EAD and Green Card within 2 weeks.

This may be the case for some, but not for all. For us, EAD was August 2008, GC was May 2009. So the interim benefits have their purpose. Even some K1s get interviewed, which means you will need the EAD to work and the AP to re-enter the country if you aren't lucky and don't get transferred to CSC.

And they all come within 2 weeks of each other.

Hate to tell you, but the EAD is free when filed with the AOS.

Once her AOS is approved, she will get a green card and this is all she needs to work. EADs sometimes come sooner, not always. My wife got her green card first. The EAD and AP goes in the scrapbook.

Do not work unless you have EAD in your hand. Getting approved for EAD is fine but again Waitn untill your EAD arrives. You have waited that long so why not for some more days

Thats my best advice to you.
