Quick Biometric question?

[Myopia 93]

I'm so glad! Well done on not taking no for an answer but remaining polite

You probably won't hear anything about the EAD for at least two months (maybe closer to three months), even with the early biometric. Sometimes a walk-in speeds things up, but normally not. I don't mean to be a downer, but when we were waiting during the AOS process, unrealistic expectations were hard to shake. That's what I mean when I say the real waiting begins now Hopefully I'm wrong!

I was about to ask this. Does doing a walk in change the timeline in any way at all?

yea sure lol you can never insist on anything, at the end they are not required to check me thru the system, i put my `puppy dog` face on haha (at least that's what my wife said she came with me too) lol

yea let's see then schools out in may if i receive the EAD by then i am cool...

I've been trying to look at people's timelines, and it seems to me that in some cases early walk in can speed things along, and especially if you get a congressman involved. Before the biometrics is done, the EAD can't be issued in any case - so, my hope is to do an early walk in prob on Fri morning, and try the congressman route when about 4-5 weeks has passed from my initial AOS submission. I have a job offer at my current interning location, which is why I would like to get the EAD as fast as possible - they can't hold this position for me for very long.

that's exactly what i am thinking you know, without a fingerprint they can't even process the EAD, so in my case and yours nothing would be done by the 14th or 15th of april, plus add a month or two after that (come june...)

but now since i got this done i am hoping it to arrive by May maybe..... (hopefully)

I sure am glad I read this, it cleared up a few questions I had.

So do all the service centers allow early walk-in appointments as long as you have your biometric appointment letter? The Indianapolis Field Office website says you cannot visit unless you have an appointment scheduled by USCIS. It also mentions INFOPASS, but it never specifically stated anything about early walk-in appointments. How can I found out for sure if we can do the walk-in?

You can't know for sure - all you can do is try. Most people are allowed, but we were denied. I suspect if you asked anyone officially, they would say it is not allowed, but people still do it. It won't hurt you to try. Good luck.

there is a guy at January filers, xiua i think man he did early walk-in two days after receiving the biometric... he then received the interview letter in 41 days man now that is super-fast that i have ever seen...
