I765 Denied
Help me please. Here's my situation.
I entered thee US from the UK on a visa waiver last year, i met a girl who i fell in love with and then i had to go home because my 90 days were up. I came back over to see her again and we decided we didn't want to be apart so we got married. Now i never came here with the intent to get married (never had intent to get married full stop) but thats what happened. We got married in July of last year, around a month before i was due to return to the UK. We filed forms for green card and EAD back in september and after a few returns for wrong addresses i had my biometrics back in January. Got a letter in yesterday saying that my application had been denied because i entered on visa waiver and don't have an alien registration number. We have yet to have our interview for green card and i am now worried sick that i'm gonna get denied.
My wife, ever the optimist thinks that once we have the green card i can apply again for EAD and that we just made a mistake of filing before we should have. I'm just worried that if i was denied for one thing maybe it'll affect the other.

I can't help about the denial, but anyway, once you've got the greencard, you don't need the EAD... You sure it wasn't an RFE? Perhaps a word with a lawyer could be prudent... www.ailalawyer.com for a referral.
Either way, you don't really provide enough info on exactly what's what for people to help you.

It says that i was denied because i didn't enter the US under the K3, As i entered as a visitor and i have not received my green card, my status still says visitor. It wasn't an RFE, it also says that this decision cannot be appealed.

Re: I765 Denied
If you have an AOS pending you are eligible as long as you entered legally. Sounds like they have not hooked up the I-765 with the AOS. Check on the back of the cancelled check for your case number and then check it out on the USCIS website. Did you mail the I-765 at the same time you mailed the I-485/I-130 and other documents?
