Is it normal that my employment authorization card was sent to me before USCIS took my fingerprints?

I have I-140 and I-485 pending at this time.

Thanks

Have you done a biometric in the past calendar year for another immigration issue?

Oooo. I'm interested to hear the response to this. My husband was fingerprinted for his F1 visa a year ago and I'm curious if that will expedite things.

Not if he was fingerprinted abroad. The OP must have had biometrics in the US within the past year.

I was fingerprinted one day after USCIS sent out my EAD with AP.

I did not get the document yet because everything happened this week.

I know that they sent out EAD from online USCIS database.

I have never been fingerprinted abroad...

I read on the internet that fingerprints are not necessary for EAD card.

But now based on the answers I read I am not sure what is going on.

The question asked was, did you get fingerprinted in the US before? When?

The EAD is supposed to have your fingerprinted on it. I'm puzzled how they could send out an EAD without a fingerprint unless there is some type of identity mix up.

So you don't have the card? You just saw the online status change to "card production". Is that right?

Maybe the online status is screwed up. It happens.

Update

It gets even more interesting :)

On July 23, USCIS online data base said that card was sent to production on July 22 (they did not have fingerprints at that time).

On July 24, USCIS online data base said USPS picked up letter with my card on July 24 (they did not have fingerprints at that time).

On July 25, USCIS online data base said that they mailed to me the notice that I-765 was approved on July 25(fingerprints were taken on July 25).

It is very confusing...

Should i be worried that something is wrong?

Thanks

It is pointless to get all stressed out at this point because, as someone mentionned previously, some gremlins might have taken control of the notification system. If you do receive a card, make sure it doesn't bear someone else fingerprints.

Sorry if this sounds condescending, but I have to ask. Are you very sure you're entering in the case number correctly?
