wanted to update on here.
I rescheduled biometrics from 1/17 to 12/31
today 1/1, I got email that case has been updated, went to check USCIS portal, and saw 765 was approved, with approval date of 1/2, but the EAD effective date of 12/31.
Thank you again for walking me through the steps of rescheduling biometrics and as October filers, I hope we all get EADs soon, if not already.
