Does having your I-485 interview scheduled affect I-765 processing?

[HTM27 21]

My interview was recently scheduled for the end of September. My EAD renewal has been pending since mid-January.

 

The current one expired in April so the six-month extension will end a couple of weeks after the GC interview. If all goes 100% it won’t matter, but even a slight delay could screw up my work eligibility.

 

Does the NBC continue processing the EAD as it normally would, given all this? I submitted an “outside normal processing time” inquiry a few weeks ago but have yet to hear anything.

They don't care. As you can see, the official processing time is 2.5 - 5 mo. The service request may help but it usually makes no difference other than psychological placebo-like effect. Given your timeline I believe you'll get it soon, probably before the extension expires. But do plan for interruption of the employment and let the employer know about the situation - just in case.

Once you get your GC, the ead becomes obsolete but they should process it before the interview. Good luck 🍀👍🏽

There's no guarantee that he/she will get the GC right after the interview. And it may take weeks to receive the GC on hand. 

If it were me, I would submit a service request due to case being outside of normal processing time.

2.5 to 5 mos is for new applications not renewals

What’s it supposed to be for renewals?

But the a# on the ead is eventually the same number on the GC, so even if they don’t get the actual card, upon approval of the gc that number will remain active for the i9 as well. It depends if the gc gets approved before the ead expiration date
