No Title
You ONLY can apply EAD/AP after INS receive your I-485 and give you a Notice. THEY DO NOT PROCESS AT THE SAME TIME.
It took about 60 day to process your EAD/AP at NSC.
If your laywer do not file your EAD/AP to NSC yet. You may want to file your application to local INS personally. In fact, you can get the EAD at same day from local INS. (AP maybe need 2 week to receice it)
In my case,
RD:12-28-2000
ND:01-09-2001
01-30-2001, I apply at local INS (Indiana), I get my and my wife EAD at the same day and receive AP 2 day later.
Help that help.
GOOD LUCK !
