When will i get work authorization?

Hello there, during green card application, which step will allow me to use green card to work?

to Paula:

You'll need to file I-765 to apply for EAD. One of my colleagues file the I-765 along with his I-485, and it got approved. I don't know if you can file I-765 sooner then that, though.

to bigdog372:

sooner *than* that.
