simplyanks Posted June 27, 2013 Report Posted June 27, 2013 Hello, I am going to file my I-140 in EB2 category in Aug 2013 under premium processing. (How long it will take to get I-140 approved in premium process)Concurrently, I will file the I-485 and I-765 (appl for EAD).I have heard that the I-485 is not processed until theI-140 is approved. If that is the case, will USCIS process myEAD papers only after the I-140 has been approved? & After how long i have to wait to get EAD after I-140 approved? Thanks
JoeF Posted June 27, 2013 Report Posted June 27, 2013 I have heard that the I-485 is not processed until the I-140 is approved. You heard wrong. Don't listen to rumors. The I-485 can't be approved without an approved I-140, but it can of course be processed before the I-140 is approved..
pontevecchio Posted June 27, 2013 Report Posted June 27, 2013 I assume you are not from China or India?
omshiv Posted June 27, 2013 Report Posted June 27, 2013 PP takes 15 days for any result. To apply EAD, I-485 has to be current. If you are applying I-140 and I-485 together..you should get the EAD soon.
bj747400 Posted June 27, 2013 Report Posted June 27, 2013 I-140 premium is 2 weeks.. And re the other qn - did you read anything about 'priority date'? ;)
JoeF Posted June 28, 2013 Report Posted June 28, 2013 I-140 premium is 2 weeks.. And re the other qn - did you read anything about 'priority date'? ;) The OP said he files the I-485 concurrently. That implies that his PD is current, so he isn't from the backlogged countries.
