[Mrs.grant 4]

Hi everyone I'm very new to this site and really ned the help of all. I have my biometrics done 2 weeks ago for my aos n ead card,I have registered online for status updates,like I said its been 2 weeks since my biometrics and I haven't had a change of status updates,I have heard from friends who recently went through this that they got there ead card in the mail 2 weeks even 1 week after biometrics. How accurate is the online updates, can anyone tell me how long it took to get your ead card after fingerprint,thx

If you review other timelines from people adjusting status you will see that generally EAD/AP are approved in approx. 60 days from the date you filed your paperwork. I wouldn't expect it much sooner unless you requested expedited approval.

I have been waiting for 61 days as of today for my EAD/AP to be approved and I had my biometrics completed on May 1, 2012. So as of tomorrow I will have been waiting for a month from that date and still nothing. It can take up to 3 months to be approved and your card mailed to you.

My EAD/AP took 79 days to get approved

I got my EAD 67 days after I sent my i-130, i-485, i-765 packet.

Allow 90 days for EAD/AP.

Unfortunately the online updates are not reliable, you may get an update, you may not. Some people get approved without any online updates at all.

thx for your answers,guess i just have to wait it out

I hear you, I filed my AOS/EAD/AP on March 30, 2012. Had my biometrics on May 1, 2012 and nothing has been done with mine either. People who have sent in their petitions in April have already been approved and have received their EAD/AP cards. Very disheartening sitting here day in and day out waiting for an email/text message that it has been approved while people who filed after me in April have already been approved, received their cards and are now working. 66 days and counting now for me.

You filled in your timeline but I'm not sure you did it right. If you look at your I-797C which says "I-485 Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status" at the top, what is the notice date? You have put it as 05/16, but that is not possible if your biometrics appointment was on 05/18.

[Mrs.grant 4]

Its suppose to be 04/16

Make sure you go back and change that using the instructions I gave you in the other post.

You need to allow 60-90 days from your NOA1 date, your EAD NOA1 date says 04-17, which is only 1 month and 3 weeks. Expect nothing for another 1 month, if it arrives before that date then it will be a pleasant surprise!

Yeah, it sucks. Unfortunately there is nothing you can do about it. Try and find some things to occupy yourself in the meantime or you'll drive yourself nuts!

so it is 60-90 days from filing or 60-90 from the Biometrics appointment?

I have filed for mine on April 13 2012 and got Biometrics done June 4th 2012.. Was wondering, when should I expect my own EAD...
