Today I received an email that my work permit was approved yesterday 24th of August and that a card was ordered for me. I am so happy however by time the card arrives my interview will be a few days after.
 
Yeah that happened to some people...but if you get an employment offer or something like that will help until you get approved and received your green card on the mail.

Good luck!
 
Please advise what do you mean by "if you get an employment offer or something like that will help until you get approved and received your green card on the mail"

I am writing this because I have job offer but I can not take it now. I am still awaiting my EAD to arrive. What is the timeline to receive my EAD? My fingerprint was last wednesday.

Anyway, I was overstayed for 1 year. I came here with F1 visa. I got married couple months back to USC few months back. I am in the process to submit additional evidences for my case now. I just have fingerprinted last wednesday and my DO is chicago.
 
they are on may 8th right now, so you must wait until your date comes in. and if nothing after 30 days when your date is current, you must call.

Means that your EAD will be in your hands first than your green card. When the status said that your EAD is approved and they order your card...means that will take around 7-10 days to arrived on the mail. And that is before your interview...so that is good. When I said that if you have a job offer, means since your EAD will be sooner than your permanent residency (if you get approved) then you can start that part first than wait until your green card gets on the mail and that will be like 2 weeks of difference between your EAD and your green card...more or less.

I said that on the assumption that your EAD will be first than your green card.

I have no clue what are you talking about... :rolleyes:
 
hey guys, i got the same thing. they sent me an ead card and it should be on its way. but i don't know if i should be happy or not. i've read that they weren't sending ead cards before the interview for most ppl b/c they were scheduling interviews quite early and quickly. so now that they have sent me the ead card, i feel that it will be a while before i see the interview letter. what do you guys think?

I also received an email my EAD approved on 24th August(my husband's birthday). I haven't got any news from my interview due to our DO (cherry hill) is one of the slowest DO in US. Patient make gold I guess, haha!

Apart from the fact that with EAD you can get an interim one after 90 days. In which case if you submitted your EAD around may 8th, certainly wouldn't have to wait the 30 days before making an infopass to get the IEAD.

I have to say that it is always a highlight of my day to read Inquisitor's posts -- after poring over complex cases and issues all day, he always seems to be able to reduce things to the simplest essentials(unless he is philosophising) --- not always correct, but certainly "simple". I am shaking with laughter right now.

I am being mean -- I can't help myself.
 
Our EAD has a LUD of August 24th but do not have a decision yet. However, Advanced Parole has been approved on the same day. It appears that things are moving really fast these days. Hopefully we will get an email about the EAD approval soon. My spouse do not really need to work right now but EAD will let her get SSN and drivers license etc. But we are so happy for the Advanced Parole because we already have our travel plan made for the end of October. Hopefully EAD will not be needed if the interview goes well.

The current processing date for EAD is June 11th, so I think the LUD means you'll get approval soon.
