EAD application without receipt possible?

[slei]

Hi, my wife was filed for AOS last August, no receipt yet, can she already apply for interim EAD? what can we do?

District Offices no longer issue Interim EADs, you have to wait.

Also, before you can get anything done you need to get the receipt. Have the checks been cashed?

[slei]

Thanks preatorianXI. I have no idea how I could verify if the checks has been cashed. My employer paid for my adjustment of status. Do you have estimates of how long EADs are release for adjustment of status, we were filed august under vermont service center.

Also, when did USCIS stopped issuing interim ead? What can we do to be able to work?

You can ask your employer. The receipt numbers are in the back of the cashed checks (of which the banks usually provide an image).

USCIS no longer issues interim EADs, because usually in most cases, you will receive it before it has been 90 days. For you to work, you just have to wait. Remember you are seeking a benefit, not a right, so wait, like everyone else.
