Hey..I had applied for my I-485, I-131 and I-765 a month ago. Yesterday I got the appointment notice for my biometrics which is scheduled after a week.
1. In the biometric notice the USCIS has mentioned about the receipt numbers of I-485 and I-765 but not mentioned anything about the I-131 receipt. Is there anything to be worried?
2. They mentioned to come to the biometric centre with the appointment notice and photo identification like Passport, driver’s license, national id, military id or state issued photo id. My question is. Do they mean any of the above id along with the appointment notice? Because I don’t have any other photo id besides my passport from India. Will that do for me?
3. I never got any RFE, can they ask for RFE even after the biometrics?
4. During the biometrics is there any interview?
5. In how many days should I expect my EAD?
6. In how many days should I expect my green card? I applied last month when my priority date was current, now it has again moved backwards, EB-2 India ,TSC.
Thanks a lot in advance, I appreciate your help.
 
You just need one form of ID - for you the passport should be fine.
Dont worry about any RFE. If they ask for one it will be based on your application, not on your fingerprinting.
No interview during fingerprinting.
Your EAD will depend upon the processing times posted by the center, in your case TSC. NOrmally it should take a month or so.
Days? are you kidding me? Check the forum closely and you will bump into guys who have waited 4 years for their GC. I would say, currently just be content with your EAD and start tracking after your priority date becomes current.
Hope this helps
 
Hey today i got my EAD... i have my biometric appointment after a week..On the EAD its written finger print not available..what does that mean?
1. i was just wondering... can they send EAD card before the finger printing???
2. As i have got my EAD aaproval, does that mean that they will not ask for any RFE?
Thanks for your reply..
 
The primary reason for the biometrics is the I-485. USCIS has a recent policy that they will combine I-485/I-765 applications into the same FP appointment (which is why most FP notices refer to both applications), but that doesn't mean that your EAD absolutely requires fingerprints. Your apparently didn't, since it was approved without the FP. It's absolutely normal to have a "Fingerprint Not Available" note on the EAD, most EADs I've seen are like that since they don't require fingerprints.

Getting an EAD means your application is approved, so there is have no need for additional evidence. Your I-485 is a separate case, and they may or may not ask for additional evidence when the time comes to process it (which is still some time away).
