My wife was asked for EAD too! When my wife applied here, she was asked for her EAD card. They also wanted the I-485 receipt notice. Maybe to ensure that we are here legally and are not planning anything stupid(?) By the time, her college started, we got the approval and used the approval...

Safe deposit box I think it is best to keep the GCs in a safe deposit box while in town (or atleast leave it at home in a safe place). If you are traveling outside of US, then keep it alongwith your passport and not in the wallet. We are more protective of our passports than wallets!! My...

Its tough! As far As I know, Its tough out there in short term. If you can wait long enough (3 - 4 months) then there are good chances. Recently (around April) I was in the job market, not many calls initially and for the last month or so, I received close to 10 calls.

Number of days never meant anything! This actually happened. My wife called BCIS in February 2003 to get an update on our case. She said to the IIO "last time when I called in january, I was told that something would happen in 3-4 weeks. Since nothing happened I am calling today!" For this...
