You can’t file ead because it is attached to I485 and being married to a LPR doesn’t give you that opportunity to file i485 with vawa. you have to wait for your vawa to be approved before getting an ead

If priority date is current yes, but for like 2 years it is not. So you need to wait until it is current again or wait for your VAWA approval.

Look Visa Bulletin here on this app to see what I am talking about

@Ms shorty u can file concurrently everything once you file vawa whether your spouse was a LPR or USC and this is a fact, go ahead and file everything if you want to

@F A and @Carla Rampazzo where did y'all get this info? it's not correct

@shari Mc I get all that info from my own experience, I married a LPR and when I applied in July 7th, 2021 the visa bulletin was still current and I applied everything concurrently, all forms. I have work permit and travel document, and waiting for my VAWA process to finalize. Where do you get your info from?

Visa Availability and Concurrent Filing You may file your petition and application concurrently when there is a visa number immediately available at the time of filing. Concurrent filing is always allowed for all immediate relatives of a United States citizen, since there are no numeric limitations in this category. However, in some categories, even if there is a visa number available at the time of filing, you may not be allowed to file concurrently unless you have an approved basis of eligibility (that is, an approved petition) before being allowed to file for adjustment of status. For more information on if you can file concurrently, refer to the instructions on your immigrant petition: Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative Form I-140, Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker Form I-360, Petition for Amerasian, Widow(er), or Special Immigrant When adjudicating concurrent filings, we determine the eligibility for the immigrant visa petition first. If a visa number remains available for the immigrant classification and your Form I-485 is approvable (which in certain cases requires an interview), we will generally consider the adjustment application at the same time. We will mail separate decision notices for both forms. https://www.uscis.gov/green-card/green-card-processes-and-procedures/concurrent-filing-of-form-i-485

Even though it is written there on the USCIS website, I recommend you talk to your attorney anyway.@Ms shorty Good luck!

@F A and @Carla Rampazzo you guys are both correct!

@shari Mc this is what I’ve heard people do and some attorneys also confirms it. Were you married to a LPR and file concurrently or you know someone who has? If yes then @Ms shorty can try her luck

@Carla Rampazzo thank you

@F A oh wow, okay thank you!
