EAD Delay Due to Biometrics

[flootytooty 0]

Despite doing everything by the book, we never received a biometrics letter after our NOA1 for the AOS/EAD. We submitted a service request after 30 days and received a reply that no appt. had been scheduled yet and we'd be notified when it was. Another 30 days and nothing, so we submitted another request. After a couple of weeks and not hearing anything, we called and were told that he missed his biometrics appointment. He cited our TWO service requests and told them that we never received our letter in the mail. They said another one was scheduled and tranferred us to a higher level officer for more info. She told us that the appt. is set for 11/16. I asked about the EAD since it's been 90 days now and she said that that application was suspended pending his biometrics. This is after another officer told me that the EAD wasn't tied to the biometrics. I guess I'm posting this because A) it may help clarify for those in a similar situation and B) I was wondering if anyone else went through this and if so, how long the EAD took to get approved after the biometrics were finally taken. The officer told me it could be ANOTHER 90 days! I'm hoping against all hope it doesn't take that long since we've already waited 3 months.

Im not sure what the right answer is anymore. I filed for EAD/AP approximately a month after filing AOS. I received another biometrics appointment for my EAD. We had to go back to the service center and they fingerprinted me again. You can see the dates in my timeline.
