EAD renewal - 90 days
I understand that one can ask for an interim EAD if the approval does not come through within 90 days.
Can anyone tell me whether a renewal would normally be granted on the spot, more or less automatically, if one makes an Infopass appointment at one's local CIS?
What problems, if any, could arise?
If anyone could share their experiences I'd be grateful!

At one time it was easier to do this. You went to the INS on the 91st day with your receipt of filing and you were given the EAD the same day.
Today there are some DO that won't do it and some that will. Then there is the "receipt date" which is an issue. Some count 90 days from the date of biometrics and some of the date of mailing and/or receipt by the CIS.
You can only attempt it and find out by personal experience these days.

So, what is the worst case scenario? I mean, supposing they do not give it to him on the same day. What sort of wait would we be talking about?
My son is so upset because he is afraid that his employer won't hold the job form him and he'll get the sack...

Lately, I haven't even heard of anyone getting the interim. Seems if they have not had biometrics yet, all they do is schedule biometrics and tell them to wait till the EAD shows up, and if they have done biometrics already, they tell them the EAD should arrive shortly.
As Rete said, all you can do is try and please let us know, too.
Best Wishes,
Rene

OMG this is worse than I thought! My son had his biometrics nealry 3 months ago - a week after he filed.
What on earth could be going on? How can we find out? The online status just said that they mailed the receipt (nealry 3 months ago), and I gues phoning the misinformaiton line is no use?

As Rene said, have your son make the Infopass appointment. Take with him a copy of the biometrics receipt he received and the printout of the online status report. Hopefully, this will be enough to get them to give him an interim EAD. Crossing fingers for him.
The only other thing I can think to do is contact your congressperson and have them make an inquiry for him.

Thanks Rete. We have made the appointment and I guess we can only hope for the best.
Already tried Congressperson - after 2 months they came back saying his AOS status is 'Pending'. Like we didn't know!
Nearly 5 years here and seemingly no end to this nightmare...

application may be used as proof of continuing work authorization for a
period of 240 days. An employer must accept such a receipt as proof of
continuing work authorization."
Does this mean that as long as my son has proof of filing for renewal he can continue to work even if the actual EAD has not come through?
This would seem contrary to what I've heard about EADs elsewhere. I am getting more confused by the minute.
Any further insight and/or experiences would be welcome!

Re: EAD renewal - 90 days
UPDATE
My son's new EAD arrived today - on day 88...
Phew!
So we still don't know what would have happened if we'd have had to ask for an interim EAD.
(BTW, I tried to cancel his Infopass appointment but "the system" does not recognise his NOA number and/or his appointment number. I don't suppose he'll get any black marks for not cancelling?)
