Dsam If you want to post a list of questions here I will try and answer them.

Thanks folks. EAD is issued same day depending on the policy of the District office. Some like Pittsburgh will do it in about 1/2 hour but I know of other districts to take upto 30 days. You can go to USCIS website and check under local filing procedures. As far as the questions on the...

Radni I did not have a name change. My application was very straightforward. Again, I believe some kind of check is run during adjudication and there was a "hit" on my last name. I tend to think that it looks for close phonetic matches and other identifying criteria...eg. DOB within two...
