EAD after NIW

[SunJune]

Hi,

I got my National Interest Waiver (NIW) approved and want to know if I can get EAD based on that. I am on H1-B visa currently.

Any advice would be helpful.

Thanks.

If your EB2 priority date is current, you can apply for the EAD.

You can only get an EAD if you have filed an I-485, which in turn requires the PD to be current. An approved I-140 (NIW or not) doesn't give you rights to an EAD.
