Applying for EAD while I-140 denial appeal is pending

[njbks]

Greetings!

My I-140 got denied twice after which I've filed an appeal. If my priority date is current, can I apply for I-485, EAD, etc. while my I-140 appeal is still pending with the USCIS?

I would really appreciate any help in this regard.

Thank you!

Why did you get a denial at first place? Also, how long did it take for them to respond your appeal?
