Biometrics Appointment in Alexandria, VA

Well yes. The biometrics have to be taken before the EAD can be issued. However, your fingerprints may be rejected or there may be another problem. As soon as you get the fingerprints done, to my understanding, they start the name check process with the FBI. You could get backlogged into that.

I think its going to take more than 30 days. From other peoples experiences, you are looking at at least 90 days.

I understand completely, I have told my husband not to count on what the officer told him. He's eager, but not counting his chickens before they hatch, haha.

haha Well we are all that way I think. We are all eager. I hope you guys have good luck, though

I've heard of the people at biometrics telling people stuff like this before. Their heart is in the right place, they think they're encouraging you, but really they're just giving you incorrect information that gives false hope, and I'd wish they'd stop.

The fact is most of the time people in ASCs have no clue as to what goes on in the AOS process, they're just hired to take fingerprints.

I have just received an e-mail from CRIS stating my EAD card has been ordered today but I never had any biometrics taken. The only ones I did do were back in Dec 2004 for my AOS and EAD after I got married.
