i-485 question

[HondurasNative]

Hello,


I'm currently a Daca Recipient with a work permit valid until October of 2018 and I have approved i130 with a recently submitted i485 that we sent 3 weeks ago. Yesterday we got a receipt from uscis saying that they have received the application and was accepted. Do you guys know If I will receiving a different work permit right after the biometrics and then the greencard?

You would get a new EAD only if you had applied for work authorization along with your adjustment of status, by filing a I-765

You won't get a work permit unless you applied for it when you submitted i485. But you can file for i765 right now if you're worried about your DACA expiring before you get your decision/green card. It's always better to be safe than sorry. I'm also a DACA recipient with a pending i485. I filed in September 2016. My lawyer told me not to worry about sending i765 for work permit or renewing DACA because I would have my green card before my permit expires (8 months then). My DACA will expire next month and I still haven't been approved. ...
