Two Questions
1. Work authorization approved today, for those of you who have already received yours, how long should I expect to wait on the card coming in the mail? 2. Husband applied at the same time and his case hasn’t been updated. Do you think his will also change soon or are they totally unrelated?

1. EAD and GC are separately processed. There is no relationship per se although in a lot of cases EAD and AP is approved before i485 (although this may not be the case every time). 2) Was your husband a dependent/derivative application or a separate application?

Thanks! Husband is actually the main applicant who is being sponsored. He has previously had a work authorization card whereas I never did (I was a J1)

@Sara Steven I had a similar experience. I’m the main applicant. My spouse’s EAD got approved first and then mine a week later.
Sara ...Jan 6, 2024

@Sara Steven did you ask your lawyer weather your husband is going to get a conditional gc or not?
S
Sara StevenJan 9, 2024
@B B it is not conditional as we are employment based.

B BJan 17, 2024
@Sara Steven that’s great, is it only because it’s employement based or you guys have been married for more than two years

Neither of us are American. We got married in Scotland (both Scottish) 6 years ago. Moved to the states right after on J visas. Got sponsored and now in GC process.
