It's an EB3 I-485. My former employer sponsored me through getting the I-140 approved last December. Just before the I-140 was approved (at CSC), the I-485 case was transferred to the local office. A few weeks after the I-140 was approved, they transferred the I-765 renewals to the local office for interview. Meanwhile, the APs we applied for (at the same time as the EAD renewals) got approved. We're not from a special registration country (Canada). My interim EAD is not really interim, it's good for 1 year.MGM said:I am assuming that you have an employment based I-485 pending. Is everything okay in your job and I-140? Are you from one of those countries whose citizens had to go for special registration? They sometime do these interviews to check certain documents that you have. But since they mentioned it is a video taped interview my advice to you will be talk to a good immigration attorney. An attorney who has offices close to the local INS office where your interview is scheduled. Depending on what your attorney says, you may have to take your attorney with you for such video taped disposition. Your interim EAD is not the actual EAD so do not ignore this notice.

We got letters in the mail today saying that we need to attend a video taped interview next week for our EADs. I already have an interim EAD I got at the same office in January so I don't even know why I would need another one. Our I-485 cases got transferred late last year.
TheRealCanadian said:Since your case was transferred then you will go to your local office for a photograph and to get your EADs. Don't sweat the "videotaped interview" stuff - it's just boilerplate on the letter.
You give them your old EADs, they take your picture and 15 minutes later you walk out with an EAD that looks like your neighbor's 14-year-old kid made it on a computer and got it laminated at Walmart.
