I received my ASC appoinment notice today. It is scheduled for Dec 26th 2007. Unfortunately, we are visiting my mother-in-law for Christmas. The question is now, how seriously would a rescheduling of the appointment effect the processing time of my EAD? How long does it usually take for the EAD to be issued after the biometrics are captured? 1 week? 2 weeks? 4 weeks? Longer? Has anybody ever rescheduled the biometrics appointment? Do you think I could get another appointment reasonably soon (like first week of January?).

Thanks for your help and advice.

I don't know. I know that from filing to getting an EAD it takes about 90 days +/-

I got my biometrics today as well...for December 31 :)

Removal of conditions...

you must get your EAD before 90 days. If it takes longer, you can generate an infopass or complain to USCIS. My EAD was ordered on day 66 but it got here in day..70 more or less :) (I even counted the days) it took me a month to get a job :)

good luck!

I have an appointment through infopass on Dec 21st because my EAD is pending for over 90 days.

I checked my case status online (something I should have done way sooner, but didn't know about), and it says that they their last notice was returned to them by postal service on October 24! I did change my address online on October 10th! I have a receipt for that, too. I wonder whether this was the appointment to capture the biometrics. This is really weird and definitely not my fault. Darn USPS...

So once I have my biometrics taken, what happens next? How orders the EAD?

Thanks for your help.

I had my biometrics taken at the end of September (I think the 29th) and I haven't heard anything yet- last time I checked the USCIS site (a week ago) EAD was touched on Oct 10.

I'm wondering if I should just be patient a little longer or look into making an info pass myself.

I think I will.

I am a K3 so I need my EAD before I can apply for SSN. Not having a SSN is a pain- you need it for everything.

I am on a K-1 but I haven't applied for a SSN either yet, because without the EAD it is pretty much useless, right?

SSN is used for many things- to open bank accounts, get drivers license, etc.

Definitely go apply for you SSN now.

Unfortunately I can't right now. My I-94 has expired and I don't have my EAD yet...
