InfoPass experience in Memphis
I scheduled an infopass for today to check on the status of my EAD.
The whole process went quite smoothly - my appointment was at 8:00am and I showed up a few minutes before and was out by 8:05am.
The immigration officer I spoke with was quite helpful - at first, she said she was going to call the NBC but then realized that it was less than 90 days since my receipt date and the NBC would not accept calls if it was less than 90 days since the RD. She sent an email to the NBC requesting them to expedite the EAD and the reason given was that my H1 is expiring soon.
She also took my phone number and said she would call me back as soon as she gets a reply from the NBC (she said usually in 3 days or so).
I really need that EAD and hope it shows up soon!
No LUDs on my EAD since 10/20/2006...

The immig. officer called me today and said that she received a response from the NBC that they were going to "take out and process my case". The NBC did not indicate how soon they might do this ...
Alas, there is hope yet!
If my EAD does not show up in time, can I still be employed (leave of absence??) while I wait for the EAD to show up or will my employment need to be terminated? Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
It'll have to be terminated. You can't go on a leave if you're not legal to work. They'll terminate you and they'll re-hire you as soon as you have a card (EAD or GC).imhopeful said:
I got a LUD on my I-130 and I-485 today. I don't really think these LUD's mean anything though

My RD is September 22nd, and I've recieved the interview letter for January 24th, 2006 the day before yesterday.No EAD though I really need it to get NYS diving license.
I really need it to get NYS diving license.Yeeeaaaah!!! My biometrics notice came today!!!!!!!!!!!
After I had given up any hope to ever get this notice, it came. And it didn't come from the National Benefits Center - it came from my local office in San Jose! They must have figured out that the NBC screwed up, and now they want me to get my biometrics done any time before Jan 2nd So nice. I'm going tomorrow since they're open on Saturdays
Wow, what a relief!

Great!!!!
I am happy for you that it finally came.
RFE was for my husband's job letter, tax returns and pay stubs. Initially my lawyer sent in last 3 years' tax returns and most recent 3 pay stubs for the I864.velli said:
I don't think I would have received my EAD earlier as my ND is about current if you check NBC dates.

I had my interview yesterday. It was an easy one. Unfortunately, my case is still pending due to the name check. I posted my experience in the following thread:

interview notice
hi folks,
I got my interview notice the night we got back from my in-laws' home in NH for Christmas. However, no EAD or AP. I'm not sure if I need EAD. I was an F-1 student and am still a graduate student (working on campus). Anyways, I'm posting my timeline for your reference.
