L1A to AOS process. My I-140 has been approved and priority date is current. Do I need to file for EAD and AP when filing I-485? Can filing the EAD and AP delay the AOS approval process. If it isn't necessary, I dont want to apply.

Filing EAD and AP doesn’t slow down AOS. They are processed separately and have diff processing time.
Lawyers advice filing for everything even if you have valid H1B or L1A or L1B.
When does your L1A expire? what if your L1A expires and you still haven’t received your GC? Or you apply for L1A extension and it is denied? Best to apply for all as back up since processing time is now unpredictable.

I manage an immigration law firm and 100% agree with D1. Always use a backup plan if one is available to you

Not a lawyer but IMO I don’t think u can skip filing EAD/AP.

Thanks, but even on L1A? Checked online and it says that H1B and L1A don't need to apply. Just don't want it to slow down the already slowed process

Hi there! How long did your I-140 approval take? I also agree with others btw your lawyer will generally recommend EAD AP application

Thanks OP :)

Looking for support & validation.
I’m divorced & have 2 boys, 6 & 4 yo. Last week I took the 6 yo for a pedicure and he chose blue nail polish, well aware that he didn’t have to choose any at all. FFW to this week. It’s a “boys weekend” (kids w/dad). Their grandad is also in town, since Wed. Dad has called to ask to have the boys in the evenings (i have W &Th, always). I have said “ok, but only if you don’t say anything negative about the polish.” So… they haven’t seen them. This hurts.

Hi fellow 🐠,
I have a valid I797 till September 2022 but my I-94 is about to expire in Sep 2021 and i have travelled internationally last year and i see the I-94 printed on my old passport in line with my VISA stamp as Sep 2021. Would i be out of status in September 2021 and how can i avoid it? I have reached out to the local CBP office and they mentioned it is in line with my VISA/Passport Expiry.
