Uh...what? You said you got the NOA's but then you said you didn't get the email NOAs. Then you said the hard copies are on their way. So what exactly did you get? I'm confused.

Alright, so it is now October 26. Our interview is November 26. I'm really hoping to see an EAD in hand by then, but I just don't see how the math adds up. It's still stuck at the Review phase...there's going to be precious little point generating an EAD that'll be with me for all of a few days before the interview :blink:

Looking at my case and the other cases I've read about, I think there's a real case in attempting a walk-in for the Bio-metrics appointment. I had to go to Durham, NC for my appointment and because I had arrived earlier than my original appointment, I had to wait for 15 min while people with appointments were asked to go in first (quite rightly so) and then they called me in. My Bio-metrics was scheduled originally for today but because I did a walk-in about 2 weeks earlier, I guess it did help because I now have an appointment for my interview. I'd also think that if my file was handled at a center that wasn't as busy as LA, TX etc it might make a difference.

All speculative of course :-)

the early walk-in may or may not help. for the most part it does, but you can see that many people have been waiting months for their interview notice even with an early walk-in so it really depends.
