Hi, friends: I have submitted my I-485 and EAD application based on EA1a with the recomm letter for my J waiver from US Department of States before I obtained the final approval from INS. My questions are: 1. is it ok? 2. Can I get the EAD without INS J waiver (my J waiver based on \'no objection\' has been blocked at CSC for a long time. I got the DOS letter last year, for unknown reason, probably my docments were lost, my J waiver is still pending at CSC. I don\'t know when I could get the final approval of J waiver. But I badly need the EAD as quick as possible). 3. some advice. Thank you very much
