Re: AOS and EAD
Not necessarily do, you get the EAD when the petition has been accepted. And if the petition is submitted before the 60 days are up, it will be denied. USCIS is paying close attention to the dates on the petitions right now, especially from nurses that will be affected by the retrogression.
For an petition to be submitted now, you would have to have been in the US since before the end of July, and most attorneys normally recommend 90 days for filing. The I-140 can always be denied and have seen more and more that have been denied lately, for what ever reason.
