iEAD obtained at San Jose today.
Valid 240 days, starting today.
Old EAD expired 7/9/03
WAC-03-151-52xxx original application of April 17, 2003 not yet approved.
Reached there 5.30AM ....some 70 people ahead.
Started letting people in at 7.00
Was in by 8.00
Out 12:30, with 45min aprox. major slowdown due to BCIS lunch breaks (they still kept 3 out of 6 counters running, but the EAD photo lady disappeard
)
Lady at counter wanted to see EAD receipt notice and I-485 receipt notice. Gave them photocopies, they kept both, and the original EAD.
Everybody polite thoughout.
INTERESTING INFO: Guy before me went for iEAD knowing that his EAD application of April 15 or thereabouts was already approved yesterday. San Jose BCIS did not find out, and gave him a no-fee EAD.

iEAD experience at San Jose
Today I got my interim EAD of San Jose district office. I did not have originals of INS docs but I wanted to try. The officer showed concern for the following docs:
I-765 notice of receipt
I-485 notice of receipt
I-140 notice of approval
Passport with I-94
Current EAD card
He did not ask for originals at all. Timeline wise:
6:10AM - Joined the line. There were already around 80 people.
8:05AM - Cleared security check
8:20AM - Got the token
11:20AM - Went to counter. The officer wrote some information
on the form and I carried it to cash counter.
1:45PM - Photograph taken
1:55PM - Photograph taken again (she said first one was not OK)
2:10PM - Had the card in hand.
Till around 10AM they were operating 3 counters and later till
1PM or so continued with only 1 counter. I don't understand why I had to wait for 2:30 hours for photograph to be taken. Otherwise everybody was courteous and everything went smooth.

The officer asked me the documentation requested in RFE. I said that it was for I140 approval copy and was sent on 20th June. I also told him that although we sent it on 20th June, the status
indicates it is received on 15th July. He then asked whether the address I put in my application is the same as the one filed with CSC. I said yes. He just verified all the contents of application form and asked no questions.
