Jum recently received her EAD appointment letter. The appointment is on Sept. 16th. Her AOS Biometrics appointment letter (scheduled for Sept. 14th) was received 2 days before the EAD appt. letter. Does this make sense, and am I right to think that the EAD appointment will be the time when her EAD card will be issued even just shortly after her biometrics are taken two days prior? Things are moving faster than I thought they would.

Thanks,

C.J.

Hi C.J., I don't have the answer to your question, but I'm writing because your case is very similar to mine. We sent our package last August 13th, and I had my biometrics done today. However, I haven't received my EAD appointment yet. I'm surprised though, as to the fact things seem to be moving so fast. We married on a tourist visa, which we thought would complicate things. But maybe not...anyway, I hope things go weel for you and your wife =)

My story:

09/23/2002 - Met Chris online, there was something very special about this guy =0)

07/16/2006 - We got married in Reno, Nevada.

USCIS:

08/13/2006 - Filed for AOS, AP, EAD - they were VERY carefully packaged with a detailed cover sheet on top of each of the forms, just as VJ's instructions recommend. It was A LOT of work, but it did pay off! (we firmly believe this is what sped up our process big time)

08/31/2006 - Biometrics appointment

09/09/2006 - Received my AOS appointment date!

10/26/2006 - EAD touched and AP APPROVED!

10/27/2006 - AOS appointment at 7:30 AM! APPROVED IN EXACTLY 70 DAYS!!!

11/01/2006 - EAD approved

11/02/2006 - Email notification - greencard will be mailed as soon as it is ready! YAY again!

11/02/2006 - Welcome to the United States of America letter in the mail! Almost there! =)

11/06/2006 - EAD card and White card (a.k.a. greencard) arrive in the mail!

Journey Total Duration: 80 days

Filed for removal of conditions on 07-28-2008 and had them removed on 09-10-2008

You're correct, I read through the notice, it is for biometrics for the EAD. Just seems strange for her to go for AOS biometrics on Sep 14 and then go Sat. morning Sep 16 for EAD biometrics. Maybe they will let Jum do them all at one time.

We will try that and see what they say!

C.J.

Take both letters with you to the first appointment and they will most likely do them both at the same time.....

Hi CJ%Jum,

I had the same problem, but I only recieved the EAD appointment letter. In Charlotte at the office (Tyvola Center) they said hey let's do everything now, makes no sense that you have to come twice. So they did all biometrics and stamped the letters. So bring both letters, they will be stamped with biometrics done, quality check for them and such stuff. They will understand that!

Just bring all NOAs and stuff and explain to them that you have two letters right at the front desk. No problem at all! They are very nice and helpful there.

Good luck!

Anna
