Hi Gurus Need your advice. My 485 is in process since Apr 2003 and have been on EAD since 2003. My 485 was filed in VSC. I am currently in NJ. If I want to move to a different state like NC that falls under a different Service Center, will it impact my 485 processing. Will/Can I still...

Last month end, my lawyer filed for my fourth EAD/AP (yeah my 4th). The online message says that EAD is taking 60-90 days while AP is taking between 150-180 days. My current AP expires in Feb. So was a little concerned that there won't be an overlap between the two APs. Any idea how long...
