you are gonna have to wait a bit, it depends your case the officer. could be the next day or mo this after that. i got mine about 4 months after that and about to get my GC literally week after EAD arrived so it’s kind of pointless
H BMay 6, 2023
yeah 4 months on avg. is not bad, i just hope its not any longer than that. I submitted my medical at the time of application already got a RFE to submit my birth certificate before biometrics. My lawyer said EAD might come back soon
