i485 without i765

[metehn 2]

Hello,

I sent i485 without i765(couldnt realize that i should send it) , i485 form start to progress at the end of Sept 2018.

I have to work immediately unfortunately i didnt sent i765 form with my i485. I need to work immediately because my financials almost over.

My question, Which one takes longer time

   - Waiting to i485 come out or sending i765 form to get EAD card asap. 

 

Thanks.

I would send in I765 with a copy of employment letter and ask for an expedite, what I would not do in your spot, is work without that card, HUGE no, no...plz do not let the cross your mind.

File for the EAD.  There is no fee for it, so nothing for you to lose.

Make sure to send your NOA1 for your I-485, otherwise they'll deny your application for not paying the fees (which is free if you applied for I-485 but they don't know that you have one pending) Depending on your field office, sometimes GC goes faster then EAD, but in general GC takes about 1-2 years. I would file for EAD anyway. You can check https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/ to see the processing times of your local office for GC. EAD takes about 4-6 months, but like someone else said, sometimes you can expedite if you have a valid job offer or a valid reason (financial loss etc)

Is it NOA 1 or NOA 2 that u have to send with I-485? I thought it was NOA 2. 🤔

I got both NOA1 and NOA2. 

NOA2 is for fingerprint appointment, isn`t it?

I think there is some thing that i want a clarification on sending I-765 separately from I-485..what i know is you must submit EAD,AP,and i-485 together and ead and ap would be free but if you submit it separately you must pay for ead or ap ?

USCIS says if you applied for i485 you don't have to pay for i765 application fee ( with i485 or later )

I had to do some search. You're right. 

 

Filing Forms I-765 and I-131 with Form I-485

If you are filing Form I-485 (or already filed a Form I-485 on or after July 30, 2007), you do not have to pay an additional fee to also file a Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization and/or Form I-131, Application for Travel Document for advance parole. You may file these forms together. If you choose not to file Form I-765 and/or Form I-131 with your Form I-485, then you must submit a copy of your I-797C, Notice of Action, receipt as evidence of that you filed a Form I-485.

If you filed your Form I-485 before July 30, 2007, you must pay the fees associated with Forms I-765 and/or I-131 when you file them

My problem is expedite the progress coz i didn't know that i have to send it with i485, i was thinking i will get my EAD card soon ( apx 3 months later after Sept 2018 )

Anyways it's what it's. 

I will apply for i765 asap. 

Thanks a lot.

So usually you submit everything together (I-485, I-765 and I-131), but in this case only I-485 was submitted. If I-765 is send now without proof of pending I-485, you have to pay the full fee. So in this case you send NOA1 from your I-485. NOA2 from K1 should be send with I-485 submission
