Advance Parole timing?

[KJex 1]

Hi, we have our biometrics this Wednesday.  How long does it typically take to get the work permit and/or advance parole after?  Has anyone had this go quickly?  Thanks!!

Please update your timelines. Most likely eac card received before advance parole. You can apply for parole but probably waste of money as green card will be received before.

More dependent on when you filed, EAD timeline are variable

The trends I have been seeing over the last year, monitoring several different forums and data aggregators, are as follows (percentages are rough but fairly accurate):

 

20% - 30% - Get approved for a EAD/AP Combo Card pretty quickly (Within a couple of weeks after the biometrics appointment) 

50% - 60% - Get the EAD fairly quickly but the AP drags out several months

The remainder seem to have their EAD/AP applications get stuck in limbo and don't get either of them adjudicated prior to the Green Card being approved

 

CAVEAT - It seems that USCIS is pulling a lot of AOS applications from the top of the pile in the last few months and many applicants are receiving interview notices within a month or two of their biometrics and this is causing many more people to fall into that "Remainder" category lately, where they are getting their green card interviews before EAD/AP is processed and/or they are getting the approval(s) between the time they get the interview notice and when they go to the interview. 

 

2ND CAVEAT - This is all anecdotal "evidence" as I said above, I spend a lot of time on a lot of different forums and data aggregator sites (this whole process has grabbed my interest LOL) and none of this is "Hard Data" so take it FWIW  Good luck on your journey!
