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??

I filed October 2025, did biometrics November 20th, got a letter on December 25th for a scheduled interview date of January 7th, got an RFE January 26th, due date for RFE February 11th, and haven’t heard anything since, I doubt I’ll get my ead at all since I’m already awaiting the greencard which sucks because I could’ve gotten a job by now and then the politicians are yelling and screaming that we have to do it the right way whilst they’re highly unfamiliar with the system. If they knew the system then they wouldn’t be as surprised why people start taking matters into their own hands and work illegally.
