Had my fingerprints taken last Friday too. I got an update on my I-485 last night. They transferred my case to another office for processing, I am assuming they sent it to the local USCIS office. No updates on my EAD and AP yet :(

How long does it usually take to get EAD after biometrics?

There's an estimated adjudication time for EAD on your VJ timeline. I would think that average timeline is accurate. :)

Good Luck to us :)

I just read a post, said she got hers 11 days after her biometrics. It would be awesome if we all get ours that soon too.

I hope my timeline is accurate. I have been unemployed for six months now :(

One poster from this thread (http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/359470-under-rfe-but-issued-biometric-appointment/) said that RFE won't stop you from getting your biometrics done.

But my EAD was approved one day before my original Bio day.

So early walk-in worked out for me.
