My son and his wife filed I-130 and I-485, since she came here on a tourist visa. They received their NOA-1 for all the cases on January 20th. How soon do you think the work authorization will arrive? Will it happen only after the fingerprints are taken?

Thanks.

Hello, firstly congrats on the progress so far. On the NOA-2 (hardcopy via mail) or if you check your online status you should be able to see the NOA date. Once you have that you have a grace period of 90 days to receive it. Things to take into consideration are:

1) You would have to do biometrics before you see any progress on the EAD.

2) Any RFE/RFIE may (in few instances do not) slow down the progress of it.

3) USCIS might have been backed up, but they are slowly getting back on track as I see a lot of progress taking place again.

4) I have a NOA date of January 4th 2016, no progress on my EAD as yet.

Hope I brought some clarity, best of luck!!
