Hi everybody:

I need and advise, I apply for the EAD but my lawyer made a mistake filling the papers, so I had to re apply for the EAD again few months ago. On Jul 16th my I130 was approved but I don't have EAD in hand...!!!
Is it right?? have I to be worry about it??? Can I do something???

Thanks

Your timeline shows that you mailed off for the EAD in Feb-was that the first time you applied or the second? NBC is currently shown to be processing EADs from 1 February.
I hope HIS mistake didn't cost you an additional fee..........

In February the first time, in May the second.. and unfortunately it cost me 180$ aditional fees.

Shouldn't have if his mistake and not yours.............

Hi 2Pat!

Just curious why it matters whether you have your EAD in hand yet, with your I-130 approval. What's the correlation?

And I agree that you shouldn't have had to pay another fee if it was the attorney's fault for sending it to the wrong place.

Best Wishes,
Rene

I thought that but we had to pay again...

I would like to know if I need my EAD and my SSN to keep going with the process after the I130 approval. I dont have any of that documents yet.

I'm not an expert on I-130's by any means, but I don't think you need the EAD and SSN to continue with the I-130 process. I think all it means is that you go through a bit of different processing through NVC, and then return to your home country for the interview.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong...

Welcome back!! I am so sorry to hear you had to re-apply for the EAD!!, If I were you I would fire your lawyer.. this is the second time he has messed up.. I am not trying to make you mad or anything.. It is just my opinion.

You don't need the EAD or SSN to continue the I-130 process!, who told you that??. Since your I-130 is approved.. why haven't you filed an I-485?. You won't have to wait years and years for an interview since your I-130 has been approved!
When you go for your AOS interview.. you will then become a conditional permanent resident.. and you won't need to apply for the EAD anymore.. since you will be a green card holder.

She can continue the I-130 process in the US.. or go back to her country and get the immigrant visa thru the consulate and land as a CPR
