Applying for an interim EAD?
Hi,
Has anyone on here applyed for an interim EAD as a result of not receiving a decision on the I-765 application after 90 days?
I'm hoping someone can fill me in on the procedures, what do you need to take, and so on... in particular, if anyone has any information regarding Bloomington, MN I would be most grateful.
Thanks,
Mark

Hi Mark,
I didn't receive mine in the 90 day period so on day 91 I went to the
Charlotte office and showed them my receipt and passport and a few hours
later I had my picture taken for the interim EAD and handed the card.
It was very smooth and painless, at least here in NC.

Re: Applying for an interim EAD?
Speedy,
My ex-wife never received a receipt for her I-765 either. About 8 months after submitting it she decided she was ready to look for a job, so we went to visit the local Sub office with our copy of her application.
A half-hour later we walked out with the EAD.

As a side note, what's the score now on the NYC office issuing them? I read that they were simply (more or less) refusing to issue them due to their lack of human resources, which seems mighty rough to me.

Re: Applying for an interim EAD?
How about a copy of the check that they cashed for the EAD? You can start
counting from that date.

Re: Applying for an interim EAD?
Mark,
What is the "so much" that has changed regarding K-status EAD applicants? The only thing that I'm aware of is that applications from K3 people are now going to the NBC for initial processing.
Also, I'm interested in this term "interim EAD" that I see many people using. There was nothing 'interim' about the EAD that my ex-wife got. It was the same 1-year ID card that she would have been given had her application been processed in a timely fashion.
Regards, JEff

As a side note, what's the score now on the NYC office issuing them? I read that they were simply (more or less) refusing to issue them due to their lack of human resources, which seems mighty rough to me.

Hopefully, it sounds as if this situation is now resolved. That sounded beyond my belief...

"Interim EAD.
If you have not received a decision within 90 days of receipt by the INS of a properly filed EAD application..., you may obtain interim work authorization by appearing in person at your local INS district office"
I believe (from reding other users' posts) that this EAD is normally only valid for 6 or 7 months, and not for a full year. It seems that the processing times for EADs are getting longer, maybe that is why they introduced this option.

So your wife filed for AOS and EAD, attended a biometrics exam for her AOS, and then didn't hear anything regarding her EAD again?
Sounds like the position I myself may be in...

Re: Applying for an interim EAD?
Marjeta,
Thanks for calling me on that, and for providing the reference.
In my ex-wife's case, however, there was nothing "interim" about the EAD card she was given. It was a 'standard' card, valid for a full year. They had apparently laid her EAD file aside and forgotten about it until we went in to make the inquiry. They found the file, processed the application on the spot, and issued the card.

Mark,
No. She wasn't fingerprinted for her AOS until months after we went in to inquire about the EAD. She filed for AOS and EAD in November, went in to inquire about the EAD the following May, had her fingerprint appointment in September, and her AOS interview in October.

That's a very odd timeline! So would you say that her EAD application was 'lost'?
