Do you remember when you received your notice for  biometrics?

I received it in the last week of July roughly. It gave 2 weeks notice.

I have quick question and I’m seeing mixed answers but… my college that I’m currently attending approached me yesterday about doing a student tutoring position for Anatomy and Physiology (I guess it’s because of my final grades in the class). 
 

I explained the situation that I’m waiting for my EAD so I can apply for me SSN number. 
 

question is… can I submit a request to expedite my EAD based on a job offer? 
 

Just seeing mixed answers so I thought I’d ask here. My biometrics was august 10th and I’m not sure how long the EAD will take 😕 (also I’d love to get working haha)

I don't think you need EAD to do a campus job if you are on F1. Your school should give you a letter, you would take that letter to the SSN office and they would give you your social security card so you can work on campus. 

 

I had a social security number and I was working on campus with my F1 Visa.

I’m not on an F1. I’m a K1 adjusting my status to PR. I’m needing the EAD. 
 

I wish I could do what you just suggested haha 😆

Hello everyone, I am in Seattle and have not yet received any appointment info for Biometrics Appointment. Should I be concerned that they might have messed up my application. Or should I contact USCIS? Is anybody else here still waiting for Biometrics appointment?

Hey! Seattle here too! I think this is just our waiting game. I searched some timelines for local office of Seattle and saw that it is kind of all over the place and an increase in time compared to "pre-COVID". These are some of the dates I was able to pull off of here...

 

NOA1                 ------------>         Bio Apt

03/17/2020                               08/10/2020          (~5 months)

06/09/2020                               02/17/2021           (~8 months)

09/17/2020                               03/15/2021           (~6 months)

11/04/2020                               08/19/2021           (~9 months)

01/16/2021                               08/23/2021           (~7 months)

 

I'm hopeful this means we will hear something about my husband's Bio appointment by November, but we will see...

Right now I’d say you’re still in the normal waiting time. I’ve noticed some are taking a while. But hang in there! It will come! Once you get your letter they give you 2 weeks notice for your appointment  

 

I hope it happens soon!

What reason did you use for expediting the EAD?

Financial loss to myself. Based on needing to work to pay for my nursing program. I've been paying with my own money and I'm out. So I just showed the program costs and my account from home. I wasn't sure if they would accept that reasoning but I had nothing to lose and turns out they accepted it along with some help from my congressman.
