I am scheduled to have my fingerprints and photograph taken at the Tampa Application Support Center on Wednesday afternoon (24 March 04). This is necessary to complete my application for an EAD as a pending I-485.

I just wondered what to expect when I turn up at the Tampa Support Center?


I am also interested in hearing from anyone else who has obtained a green card as a religious worker. I applied for the Green Card as a religious worker using form I-360 in February 2002. This was approved in November 2003. My wife and I applied for AOS with I-485 in December 2003. All of this is being handled by Tampa office of BCIS and the Texas Service, we are citizens of the UK.

Piece of cake there..and nice efficient people...is just off I-75
look like a shopfront..will just scan your hand and all fingers on a scanner (no ink) in and out in 10-15 mins... No info about the RW status ..but I did not break the windows..a long wait for interview at Tampa for AOS..

fathermike

Thanks for the info ray6. Have you completed AOS through Tampa? What is your timeline?

Thanks,

Father Mike

Ray

Good man ..I though you would get it.. I'm about 10/15 miles up the road in Hudson..

I'm just back from the office and it was just as easy as you said ray6.

Just a pain driving from Clearwater to the other side of Tampa. Now I'll just wait for the EAD to come in the mail.

So they took a pic at the same time for the EAD as well..thats changed... in my day you had to go to the Tampa office separately to do the EAD..seems a better way..
