Since you just sent your AOS packet on 11/16/10, when you get your reciept notice you can still send the I-765 IF you want an EAD (you already paid for it). I'm curious to know what your basis is for filing under 245(i). You had to have some nonfrivolous petition or labor cert. filed on your behalf prior to 4/30/2001, in order to grandfather you. Are you confusing things?
