May Filer: Interview ready to be scheduled before EAD

[klalo]

Has anyone received a Case is Ready to Be Scheduled before receiving their EAD? We filed concurrently I-130, I-485, I-864, I-765. We received a RFE with request to get a joint sponsor but when I calculated my current income, I made more than the 125% so I resubmitted I-864 with supporting documentation, W2s, 4 months of paystubs, proof of other income and included bank statements. Second RFE was because I (sponsor for husband) forgot to sign the I-864 . Also we didn't realize the medical exam needed to be with 60 days of filing so we received a letter stating we will receive further instructions to either bring the medical exam with us to the interview or if asked to send in. Would that be why?

This seems to be a trend that is happening to a lot
of people. I have my interview scheduled to November and haven’t had any updates regarding my ead in forever. So, I think a large number of people will be getting their green card before the ead.

Just because you got that update doesn't mean you will have your interview scheduled any time soon, but if you do, it's much better to have the GC than the EAD anyways.
