Your question is very confusing. You’re stating “why didn’t I receive the EAD after my Green Card?” if you already have you’re Green Card you don’t need a EAD to work.

came here to say that. if you have advance parole and/or work authorization, they become obsolete as soon as you receive your green card. Don’t forget to update your social security and dmv

did you get a GC approval? If so, you don’t need to apply for an EAD, you can start work immediately. If you haven’t received a decision on your GC, EAD applications usually take up to a full 15 months till it get processed.

@DB 2021 you really dont have to come on here and make fun of someone asking honest questions. if you didnt have anything nice to say, better you go somewhere and mourn your asylum request that will never get approved
