Before you go find the web site that states an interm EAD will be issused after waiting 90 days and print out the page and take it with you because some Offices will tell you it is 90 from biometrics.

It states on the receipt that it is 90 days after filing. We got our Interim EAD without any hassles. It's worth trying. Oh and we were told it is after the biometrics too when we went to do the fingerprints but we went with out gut feeling...good luck!

There is NO consistency here.... some offices use 90-days from biometrics and others use 90-days from application!

Good luck!

Thanks for all the info, I'm only on Day 53 from NOA1 so hopefully won't have to go for an interim EAD, but just wanted to be prepared for all eventualities!

It's the 90 days from the *receipt* by USCIS, which is about 5 days ahead of the NOA date. Receipt date is on the NOA as well. 90 days from biometrics is BS; if someone is getting this line they should ask for a supervisor.

09-02-2005 Applications for AOS, EAD, and AP received by MSC

11-07-2005 AP approved

12-05-2005 Infopass appt at San Jose office for interim EAD -- Refused, because it is already approved by MSC on 11-07-2005

12-07-2005 Attempt at interim EAD at San Francisco office -- no go. Back to San Jose, where CSO (chief station officer) tells they will contact MSC via email to request permission to issue interim EAD

Mand,

Open to interpretation - some DOs and SOs count from the Receipt Date, others discount the time until the biometrics have been done.

Hi

I was just wondering if the 90 day waiting period for the EAD starts from the NOA1 or the date of biometrics?

kc,

The folks at the southern end of your state, at the LA DO, disagree with you - including the supervisors.
