I-797c for work permit

[renny745 1]

I filed my I-765 after filing my I-485, ive done biometrics already, but I have had to send in alot of RFE's , i got a I-797c notice of action, how long should it take for work me permit to come? oh by the way my i-485 case is still pending does this affect me getting my work permit?

The work authorization is usually approved in about 2 to 3 months. The I-485 usually takes a lot longer than that, so my guess is that your I-485 will still be pending by the time your work authorization (Employment Authorization Document, or EAD as we say here) will be approved.

You mean EAD? employment authorization usually takes 60-70 days after filing. and it does not affect your aos pending status.

you might, might not.

I know someone who got AP in about 3 weeks. They applied for it after the biometrics.

but, you never know...

But biometrics are not needed for AP.
