That’s what I am scared off also. I applied for someone else with an EAD because she is older and doesn’t know how to use computers very well. It just asked for her Alien number after saying no to being an US citizen. I read somewhere that they won’t use the time of the coronavirus pandemic against you but I am still scared to apply. I am thinking of not applying since I am on furlough and hopefully should be back to work by May/June.
