Re: EAD timelines....
 
I think it depends on if you are a K1 or K3 but I could be wrong.

I was a K1 and I got my EAD a week before I got my biometrics done for my AOS.

All that they did for the EAD issuance was a single inked fingerprint, a photo taken at the office and a signature put on a laminated card similiar to what they do for your drivers license.

This was all done in about 5 minutes at my local office at Des Moines ( Where I sent my AOS, EAD and AP forms to ).

Hope this Helps..

Sean,

Do you mean that I need to make a seperate appointment for my AOS biometrics? I have a biometrics appointment on Friday, I assumed this was for both AOS and EAD. Was I wrong?

Thanks for your help,

Eleanor

Hi Eleanor
I recieved 2 NOA'S one for 1-145 Biometrics and Fingerprints and one for my EAD.
But the lady on the 1800 told me that I could do it all together on the same day.
I filed in Chicago and it got sent to Missouri.

Hi...


Are you a K1er ?

No I would not assume you are wrong at all. I would assume that your Biometrics appointment is for your AOS.

I am waiting almost 65 days now . Missed a job offer. My timeline down below in my signature. Been to cleveland office twice and they could not help. Difficult to get to their phone line.


Got thro their phone line. First time operator told me that my application is still in Mail room ( almost after 45 days of my receipt)

Second time operator said cannot help me until its 90 days. wont even look it up in her system. The 1-800 number cannot dig, since i filed at local office.

Does anyone know if cleveland sends the files to MSC or any other center. Just letting out my frustration.

Hi sean,

Yes, I'm a K1, I had my biometrics appointment this morning, it took care of both AOS and EAD. Thanks for your help!

Re: EAD timelines....
 
Okay, so now I'm getting REALLY mad.
My NOE for EAD is November 18th.....and I still don't have my card. I got the interim EAD on the 91st day and in a month I'll have to go get another interim card. WHERE IS MY EAD?
My papers are in Missouri center (NBC)...

What should I do to figure out what's going on with my papers?

My application ended up in Missouri, too. My NOA for the EAD is from the end of December, my number is MSC04084XXXXX. So obviously they have approved EADs way after us already, and we are still waiting.

I believe that the interim EAD cards are valid for 8 months or something like that. Why do you need a new interim card?

I think it's because they haven't even processed the regular 1 yr card even within the lifespan of the interim, and they use their discretion as to how long they'll issue an interim for. I'd lose my temper big time if I had to get another interim on top of the one I had. It's a joke.

Hey Gabby,

Just wanted to thank you for searching for approvals like this! My receipt date is Feb 17th, which is fiscal day 136, and only 5 days after the latest approvals! Thanks for helping me being patient! =)

Re: EAD timelines....
 
Siddartha,

my interim EAD is valid only for 90 days which will be over on May 17th. I got it in the Denver office.
