EAD in California

[compudada]

I just saw the following post in one of the forums. Can anyone who has filed I-140/485/EAD/AP in California please tell their experience?

I am not sure about the other BCIS Service centers, but CSC has made it clear that they will not issue EAD untill the I-140 is approved.


Concurrent Filings

Applications for Advance Parole and Employment Authorization (EAD) will not be adjudicated until the underlying Employment Based Visa Petition (I-140) is approved. However, if the EAD application is pending for more than 90 days and no Request for Evidence (RFE) has been issued on the underlying I-140 OR a response to an RFE has been filed more than 90 days, the individual may go to the local BCIS office to apply for an interim EAD card.

That's right, that's what I got from Local office(San Jose), I was told that we could still get I-EAD locally under specific situation.

What do you mean? Did the local office give you the EAD while your 140 was not approved?

That's what they told me, unfortunately I have one more month to go for me to do that. Becuase I walked in the local office and got the answer, i believe it's reliable.
