Well, if biometrics is between you getting the EAD then they'll make sure you get that. Your objective is EAD, which is what you should emphasis on when speaking to the Congressman personnel. I would

Received fancy EAD card and AP papers in the mail today. EAD card came in an envelope that looked like it was from a credit card company, no USCIS label or anything, so don't throw away supposed junk

Thank you for your message. Is there a way to see if they already sent me a bio appointment letter and I simply didn't receive it? I mean, other than calling the 1-800 number that is perfectly useless (last time I called I asked "did you send me a letter already and I did not receive it?" and the operator answered "if you do not receive it within 30 days we can request it to be sent again"...). I'm just scared that they sent it (or think they did) and set a date that has passed already.

Unfortunately, you have to call customer no-service at USCIS. They gave us the same garbage about 'requesting to be sent again'. Ask them to do a 'service request'. If at first you get someone who is unhelpful, thank them, hang up and try again.

Good luck!

They won't get your SSN until after the job offer (typically), and if they participate in e-Verify, they can verify your status even if your card is not in hand. However, if you've been approved and your card's not arrived, I would just say that you can't start for two more weeks, which should be enough time for your card to arrive.

Marie, VJ gives estimates if you fill in your timeline here.

thank you so much, well then i think i should probably wait for my ead card because all the job application forms that i checked ask for ssn, and you can't just skip this part :(

I went there on wednesday last week, but the person dealing with immigration matters wasn't there and didn't come back until friday. then on monday (2 days ago) I called them for a follow up and they told me that they couldn't find my file and hadn't done anything yet. Then again on monday they called me back and said they had found my file and would look into it.

and then finally today I first got their letter, and then their call.

:wow: That's great, congratulations! :thumbs: I guess K and L was right about it being an election year, etc. :yes: Maybe you should go to the July thread and tell your story to some of those folks waiting in Dallas. I know the wait is driving Bullwinkle and others crazy. Maybe they should try what you did. Afterall, look at all the sympathy Meg Whitman's ex-housekeeper is getting and she is illegal and forged documents! They're comparing her to Rosa Parks! :whistle: Anyway, its nice to know congress is good for something. :lol: Congratulations again. :)
