Hi Guys,

I sent my Aos package off last week but I only applied for ead and im now seeing its a combo card and i could've applied for AP as well. Is it too late to apply for AP. Will it be a problem EAD and AP applications not arriving together? thanks.

P.S. It just dawned on me that this process might take longer than avg after reading some horror stories of AOS taking a year or more! Thanks as usual for the help.

you can send you I-131 (AP petition) while your I-485 is still under review. I recommend you wait for the I-797 notices to arrive so you can apply with the right A#

Apply for AP and send a copy of the NOA1 from the I-485 so it's still free. You might get a combo card or you might get separate EAD and AP. Either way, it works.

Yes, as Harpa said - it's not too late, AND there's no filing fee for the I-131 in your case, as long as you include with it a copy of the I-797 receipt associated with your adjustment of status application.

You can apply, but you will need to send in your copies of your NOA1's for your EAD and AOS with the application so they will not reject it for non-payment.
