EAD and AP

[usaind 3]

Hi all -

We plan to get married and apply for AOS by First week of June.

Question : Is there a chance we get our EAD and AP within 6 weeks of application if there is no RFE?

Thanks and appreciate your response

Not a K-1 process or procedure. Moving to the AOS forums for AOS questions.

USCIS is quoting 3 months for EAD/AP. If you have an urgent need for AP, you may be able to get it on an expedited basis. I wouldn't make nonrefundable plans unless you're willing to lose the money.

I filed end of January, receipt date 2nd Feb and am still waiting for my AP - got EAD in April. It is most likely possible but not guaranteed...

This may be a silly question, but are you sure it's not a combined EAD/AP card?

Possible, but unlikely. Expect 2 months minimum, often more like 2.5-3 months.

My EAD/AP combo card came in a little over 2 months after I sent in my application.

Check your EAD card. It should say "Serves as I-512 Advanced Parole" along the bottom.

Checked it when I got, examined it again in detail a few days later - have received letter AP yesterday which makes it 110 days from when they say they received my application...

Anyway, just saying that it's not a given to get it in 2 or even 3 months...

Short answer; No.

Unless it's an emergency and you can prove it by taking the documents to an info-pass appointment then no, it's unlikely. Even if that was the case, AP is more likely the one causing the emergency unless you're experiencing extreme financial hardship - in such case, it's still a gamble.

Mine took 69 days.
