[spbs 0]

Applied for AOS along with  EAD and AP last Oct 2020,  got receipt notice in Feb 2021, Biometric completed in Mar 2021,   still waiting for EAD and AP,  can i change job now? or i have to wait until  EAD is received,    don't know when EAD is expected . Its been  more than 180 days after  AOS is filed.   180 days from date of filing or  date of receipt date..

Also, if i change the job now,  how can i  provide work permit I-9 verification,  as  EAD  is still in progress ?

really appreciate any reply.  Thank you!
