Immigration Forum / USA Marriage Base / February 2006AOS pending, going to get my interim EAD in person, what to expect?
Hi, We filed I-130/485/765 in Dec. 2005, Receipt Date Dec 6th, Notice Date Dec 13th. I have not received a notice for a Biometric yet and no EAD. I scheduled an Infopass appointment for March 14, which will be the 91st day since the Notice date. Assuming the biometrics wont be done before March 14th, what should I expect when I go for an appointment? Can I still get an EAD, or will they only do a biometric on the spot and mail the EAD later (I have read that this is what happens)? Also, how long are the interim EADs usually for? Thanks Sergei Interim EAD are issued on the same day (or a later day if biometrics cause delays, but they are always hand delivered). Interim EAD are valid 8 months (well, up to 8 months, but they usually issue it for 8 months for AOS cases) BTW, if when you go there it turns out that you I-765 has been approved, they won't issue you the interim card. And then, yep, they may take your biometrics and you would receive the ACTUAL EAD in the mail a few days later. Thanks for a quick reply. Two follow up questions: In you first email you say that interim EADs are always hand delivered. What do you mean? Will I have to reschedule another appt. to pick it up? Also, I wanted to clear up what exactly is biometrics. My understanding was that you get your fingerprint and an eye scan and then it goes somewhere where they "research" you and the process takes a few weeks. If this is so, and I dont have the biometric done yet, then I wont get the interim EAD on the spot. Or, are you saying that for the interim EAD they dont wait for results of the biometric and assume that it will be ok. So,they just do the biometric and then print you out an ead card?

According to a friend of mine in NYC, in the same situation as yours, when he went in on the 91st day, they took his biometrics but would not issue an interim EAD on the spot. They did his biometrics and his EAD showed up in the mail about a week later. Good luck, and let us know how it turns out for you. Best Wishes, Rene You're stuck there for the wole day and receive your card at the end of the day. It is possible that they take biometrics and send you home. However, I still think that the card that shows up then is the actual EAD and not the interim one. For EAD biometrics only refers to fingerprints and photo taking. They then check your "bios" with the police records, but that' only for AOS. > You're stuck there for the wole day and receive your card at the end > of [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > for > AOS. That's my understanding also. Rene |
