User Question: Is there any possibility of getting an EAD approval notice before the 180th day after I-589 application submission if I apply for EAD authorization on the 152nd day?
Expert Answer: No, USCIS will not approve an EAD based on a pending asylum application (category C08) before the 180-day waiting period is completed. While you can apply for an EAD on the 150th day, the earliest USCIS can approve and issue the EAD is on the 180th day of your asylum clock. Any delays in processing beyond the 180th day will depend on USCIS workload and processing times.
