Once you have a Greencard you dont need a Employment Authorization Document....

hotbelle87,

Once you have a green card there's no need for employment authorization - LPRs are employment authorized and the green card is evidence that you are an LPR.

But how come some applicants sent the AOS together with the EAD should i do the same way?.EAD forms comes with the AOS,i took it out from the package!, but anyway i already sent the AOS without EAD form, response would be appreciated,thanks in advance!..

EAD is so you can work while you are waiting for your AOS to be approved. EAD usually takes 2 months to approve.. your AOS could take three times as long.

You can always send your EAD now they do not HAVE to go together.

so in other words i don't need to submit my EAD once i got my greencard?, does it mean if my AOS is still on process and i wanna work right away then i need to apply for EAD since i have no greencard yet..????? Correct me if i am wrong ,I'm gonna wait my greencard sothat i don't need to submit EAD and besides i'm not gonna work work right away!..thank you so much for the response!!!!!!!!

Right, you only need to apply for the EAD if you want to work before you get your green card. If you don't want to/need to work for until then, you don't need to apply for an EAD. It's totally optional.

it is the luck of the draw whether or not you will get interviewed or not. no one will be able to answer this one for you.

Ok, did you do any research at all before sending your paperwork or did you do it through a lawyer ?

Anyway, try doing some research, you dont have to go far, right here in the forum you will find answers to every one of your questions.

Well, we also received our interview letter last week and it says "INITIAL" interview as well, so I quickly searched and found in this forum a thread from a couple weeks ago discussing this.

It is nothing... it's just that sometimes they do more than one interview, but most times one interview is enough to approve the case.

You'll receive your greencard after your case gets approved, that may take place at the interview or if you get stuck in the FBI name check, or lacking documents or some other problem then your case might take some time to get approved...

I did some researched we have no lawyer, i guess that's the way it is.Hopefully everything goes well...Thanks!..

I-765 is just an optional application. So if we file with AOS or later, we have to pay $180?

AOS: $325

Biometric: $70

Medical Examination: $200

---

Total: $595

WOW

It doesn't matter if you file with the AOS or seperately, you have to pay $180 for the EAD.

Just again: Once you have your gc, you don't need the EAD anymore.

Right, you only need to apply for the EAD if you want to work before you get your green card. If you don't want to/need to work for until then, you don't need to apply for an EAD. It's totally optional.

Agreed, Only apply for EAD if you feel you will need to work or get DL before getting GC ( 5-7 months)

We sent EAD with AOS package received EAD card almost 4 months after filing and green card arrived less than 2 months later. In our case EAD was a waste of $$ as my wife did not need to work.

If you send it with your AOS Package it will process faster, and in some case when you go for biometrics you can do Biometrics for AOS & EAD in one Appt.
