EAD derivatives approved but not principal applicant
hi, adjusting for EB2 niw. filled together i485 i765 and i131 EAD approved and produced for spouse and child but not principal applicant. Principal applicant attended biometrics but case is stuck at still being processed. any similar situations ! need some guidelines. thanks

Yeah, this is very common. Same with me and many others. Let’s remain hopeful.

@lou ma I did biometrics with my spouse on 29th of October. Her EAD was approved one day later and mind is still under processing as well. I'm the principal applicant. it's common this days.

@Don Sk it’s kind off annoying too bad they don’t treat the whole package together …

@Paul Isibor I think it’s the common trend right now … with obviously with some exceptions …
