Hi all,
I wanted to share my timeline here.
08/19: arrival in US
08/22: send package
08/23: NOA1
09/15 - received biometrics appointment. This took longer than I expected (usually around 10 days after NOA1). I noticed all cases get updated each Friday of the week
09/18: Biometrics done
09/18: EAD approved - online portal not reflecting this yet, however, USCIS officer confirmed this.
I expect to get the EAD card by end of next week.
