PLZ some body help me. (Is the immigrant visa number is same as "A" number).
Is the immigrant visa number is same as "A" number. I came here as an F1 student and now on OPT, in the mean time my sister who is US citizen sponser me based on family-class immigration.
My question is once my I-130 is approved , and after that if i could apply I-485 and I-765 simmultaneously, how long it will take to process to get my EAD card.
One other thing is that on MY OPT card there is a Nine digit "A" number, does it help me in anyway for my I-485 and I-765 application.
Thanks for ur reply

The EAD card is issued within a few days or months after filing Form I-485
together with I-765. I hope that you are already aware that you will not be
able to file the I-485 for 12 years or more after the filing of the I-130.
You have a long wait for the quota in category Family 4. See

The fact that you have an A number associated with your OPT card is
irrelevant to the permanent resident process. This is not a permanent A
number; you will get a permanent A number later, probably when you file Form
I-485.
