Honestly, you don’t even need EAD if your asylum granted, just use i94 white card with “asylum granted” print. But, anyways I know it takes 3-4 months, A5 category, hope you didn’t pay any fees because it’s free for asylees

I was granted asylum by immigration judge. I applied for ead and had to wait 4 months and it’s free. I heard people who get asylum in USCIS get ead automatically.

@God Bless America "I applied 6 months ago and it's free."

@A K i was granted asylum by immigration judge

@Malik B cool, check my timeline.

the first response nail it. after granted asylum at court you dont need EAD anymore

@God Bless America that's no longer a true statement. In order to meet the Real ID requirements, the EAD is a must. the I-94 alone doesn't meet Real ID requirements. So, @Malik B does need the EAD card.

@Lilo Pelekai find a word REAL ID in my comments

@Malik B for immigration court grants you will have to apply for your EAD based on A5 category. waiting time went down to 3 months. when you apply choose “Initial” application since it’s yours first A5 EAD,valid for 5 years and fees are waived for your first one. you don’t need it, but it makes life easier at DMV,airports,jobs and etc….people have no idea what i-94 is 😀lady DMV told me STOP SAYING i-94 CARD, ITS A PIECE OF PAPER I NEED AN ACTUAL I94 card 😀😀
