Anyone other November filers get the EAD card in production email/text besides kittyfang? I'm anxious to see how quickly those will be done after biometrics.

I applied for an EAD, but they didn't seem to see my application form, i only noticed after i went for biometrics for my 485.... its not a huge problem for me, as i'm on a H1-B visa, but i haven't heard anything from them in a long time, and the website is showing no touches since i had my biometrics taken over a month ago..... i know i just have to wait, but i think if i don't hear anything a week or two into January i will have to try and find out something..... :unsure:

biometric done (walk-in)

Today, I was off and I had another appointment near ASC. So, I brought appointment letter, in case they are not busy and accept my walk-in. I arrived there at 13:00 and I left 13:20. There were no appricant except me during my procedure.

I am so happy since I do not need to take half day off for original appointment, Jan. 4. My job is always busy after holidays.

Anyway, happy holidays for everybody here.

so I have a question when you say walk in it means you just go to the office and try to get your biometrics done? how often does it work?

Yes, that is what it means. You just go to the office with your appointment letter and whatever else document they told you to bring and you ask if you can get your biometrics done even though your appointment is for a later date.

The problem is that it's impossible to know if they'll let you do it. You can't call the office and I have read many posts where a person will have a successful biometric walk-in on a Monday and someone will be denied on a Tuesday. I have also heard people saying that they were not allowed to do a walk-in because of the threat level that day. Furthermore, you have to think that some offices are always packed with people, while others are empty most of the time. I'm sure that plays into it as well.

Honestly, it's difficult to know if an office will allow it. My tip would be that if you can afford to try a walk-in, do so. If you live too far, or if you're scared you might might get lost, or something along those lines, then I would wait.

Whichever you choose to do, let us know how it went. :)

nounours si tu peux tel uscis et expliquer ils vont t escalader et regarder dans le systeme

haha! :ot: I was reading these thread to kind of see the timelines and it felt so good to read french that I couldn't help myself!

Bon courage a vous et surtout bonne chance

:ot2:

For all those who have done the biometrics already those anyone knows if doing an early walk-in really help speed up the process?

And how early can I do it? I got my letter today and I was thinking about doing a walk in tomorrow, because my husband if off and could stay with our baby-girl while I go there. If successful it will avoid him having to take a day or half a day off to stay with her while I go to the ASC

Good luck if you do, but I'd be surprised if the office is actually open tomorrow. Let me know how it goes if you do make it in! I always wondered if doing a walk-in really speeds up the process or not too...

i do not know if it will help speed up the process. One reason i did walk-in is i was off on Dec. 23 and I needed to take half day off for original appointment. So, I understand your feeling. I am not sure if the ASC open on Dec. 24. I saw somebody received the letter which said Dec. 30 as appointment.

Good luck if you do, but I'd be surprised if the office is actually open tomorrow. Let me know how it goes if you do make it in! I always wondered if doing a walk-in really speeds up the process or not too...

Come to think of it, it is a government office and all of those are closed today. So, I am not driving in this weather just to find out that they are.

i do not know if it will help speed up the process. One reason i did walk-in is i was off on Dec. 23 and I needed to take half day off for original appointment. So, I understand your feeling. I am not sure if the ASC open on Dec. 24. I saw somebody received the letter which said Dec. 30 as appointment.

Yeah, 23rd and 30th are two days before the actual holidays , so that will explain why they are open on those days...
