As you all know i forgot to send with my application Form I-693 and got 3 days ago a notice that i should bring my Medical Examination to my interview date.

Do you think this will delay my processing time?

It probably will not delay your interview scheduling but I think you will not be approved on the spot right after your interview. Because they will have to add your medical form and process it and approve everything in it.

So my guess is that after your interview, it may take a little longer to get the card due to processing of I-693

Honestly I'm not even thinking about the interview, it could take 1 year I wouldn't care. I'm really looking forward to the EAD card and can't wait to go renew my license. I got pulled over 3 times aready with expired license. 1st for a burnt tail light (got away with no ticket) 2nd for not wearing a seat belt (I had just left a parking lot and was about to buckle but he saw me as I came out and pulled me over, also gave nothing) 3rd going trough Alabama-Florida state line, got the ticket for driving with expired license $273 and court appearance.

I hope you get your EAD and your DL soon.I would never dream of driving without proper license, because I am always a nervous kind :) .

If there is no update until 25th, we'll contact our congressman. I know it would be soon but there is nothing to lose, so why not do it.

Our timelines so far are basically identical. People from February group that reached 75th day without news called and placed a case inquiry and had it approved shortly after. That could be a first step before reaching for congressman.

I will do both. Contact USCIS and the congressman. Sometimes your file could be in a pile of files and not being looked in to by the office. Contacting congressman can atleast get someone to work on your case, if no one is paying attention to it.

I am not much worried about the EAD cuz I can work even without it.

Maybe there was an error in your biometrics and sometimes you have to do it twice.

So just to be safe, you should call and ask them about it.

For now I'm just interested in EAD. How can you work without it?

If you are on H1b, you are allowed to work legally.

Also if you are on F-1, you can work on campus in your college and off campus using a Co-op.

You can also work on OPT.
