Gurus,

I have already filed I-485 (and in USCIS jargon pursuant to Visa Bulletin 107). I still havent received the receipt notice and hence do not have a LIN #. I now intend to file EAD as well, is it possible?

Going through the recent USCIS releaeses
1. FAQ2: http://www.uscis.gov/files/pressrelease/FAQ2.pdf
2. Update on online filing: http://www.uscis.gov/files/pressrelease/Update_eFiling073007.pdf

USCIS will accept paper filing (at older fee) of EAD from applicants who filed I-485 between Jul 2 and Jul 17, till Aug 17. I dont fall in this category since my I-485 was filed last week.

So is my understanding correct that i cant file for EAD till I get my receipt notice?

Appreciate insights.
