EAD received but no I821D approval yet - Page 2

That document is equivalent to a green card for him (and all of us of course) the way I see it. Its good once you get it and even the EAD to completely store both of those away somewhere safe! But you're right, technically he doesn't really "need" it but in cases where he has to prove he is lawfully present, that document is the one to prove it.

My thinking was that since the EAD card shows C(33), why does he also need the letter to prove his deferred status? It's not like he got his I-765 application approved without is I-821D also being approved at the same time. So if someone were to doubt his deferred status, can't OP just show the EAD and be done with it?

I'm missing the part why it's necessary. The fact that you have an EAD from a DACA application means that your case WAS deferred. Those two things go hand in hand--you can't have one without the other.
