The worst thing that will happen is that that you will get an RFE at your interview which will give you more time to get the document and translation and that is even if it comes to that.

I certainly wouldn't worry, just attend the interview and if they ask you for it just explain that he doesn't have one-- perhaps if he has an old Brazilian passport you could offer that instead.

Like I said, I wouldn't worry about-- do what you can to try and obtain it before the interview and document the steps that you have taken and if asked, simply explain.

Would this work? I am so worried there will be a RFE during the interview. :blink:

What gets me is why should it matter for a USC to have BC unless the USC was born in US. but my hubby is natuarlized citizen so he has his cert and passport shouldnt that be enough? i mean he also has military id and drivers liscense all to verify his identity..still freaking out though.. i cant wait for this whole process to be over..only thing that can make me happy right now is to get my EAD. =( still scared :( :(

From what it seems from email of production to actually having it in hand is roughly 8-10 days I believe

I got a second email about the card production today too... looks like it's all coming together finally... most of us should be done and dusted during May... which really isn't bad as far as time is concerned... less than 90days from start to finish (assuming there is an 'on the spot' decision) is pretty good going.

Congratulations to everyone who has received EAD's, EAD emails, AP's, interview dates... we're in the final furlong of a nerve wrenching process. I hope everyone gets jobs soon and can get on with the task of enjoying our partners. I know mind has the patience of a saint... I'm so looking forward to spoiling him, just to say thanks!
