EAD Before biometrics?
After filing for AOS after a K-1 marriage, is it possible to obtain the EAD before the biometrics procedure or do you have to complete that first? This scenerio is that all AOS has been completed, sent in, and recieved notice of reciept, and have biometrics appointment.

I suspect since prints are only "good" for a limited time, he'll have to go back to do the whole hand AOS prints again before his AOS interview. (We're going through Chicago which is currently working on AOS apps from two years ago).

You don't wait for the appointment to be assigned, you call the number they send you with the notice and make the appointment yourself.
And yes, even with the interim you still need to do biometrics as they call it. You need to do the ten fingerprints for the security check and you need to do the single fingerprint and photo for the manufacturer of the one year EAD. Reports are that the interim EAD is good only for several months.
