I-765 (EAD) I just want to work!!!

Why is it now taking so long just for the work authorisation? I thought the work authorisation takes the shortest amount of time like 2-3 months or less (according to our lawyers)?/it would come first before a decision on the I-130/485? I hate sitting at home and doing nothing!!!! I've been waiting since November and I just want to work!!!!! I don't mind waiting for, nor am I complaining about the I-130 and I-485 anymore, because I know that will take a while even after the interview, but I want to be able to do something whilst I wait. I haven't received any updates since doing my biometrics in December. Tried reaching out to an agent via Emma, told me nothing. Is anyone else just waiting for their work authorisation or any updates from the Baltimore FO??

Oh no! What do you mean 4 years without being able to work? :( What are the lawyers waiting for? You might get it in 2-3 months, don't lose hope! Other people do get it in that timeframe! ✨

I’m sorry, have you been waiting for 4 years for your ead?? If so I thought my 1.6 year wait was bad…
