Hi

I and my wife applied for I-485, EAD & AP in Feb 16th. Our EAD applications got rejected because of missing signature card. My wife badly in need of EAD since she got good job recently. The situation is our residense address is in OH which comes under Nebraska service center, but our Labor, I-140 cleared from CSC and I-485 is also applied at CSC because our company head office address comes under CSC.

Are we eligible to apply EAD at Cincinatti, OH local INS office (which is in Nebraska service center coverage area) even though our I-485 is applied at CSC?

Please do me a favor of giving your experiances regarding this question.

Thanks,
Anu

I did not receive receipts. I received only returned EAD applications. Did you send signature card? if so, did you sign and place the print(thumb impression)?

I personally did not do a signature card or a thumb print for the EAD. I didn\'t even know if it was required. Of course, I still haven\'t heard anything about my EAD yet so I don\'t know if that\'s right or wrong, but now I\'m worried!

How could the lawyer be so stupid not to have those sent in with the application? This applies to my lawyer as well.

Yes you can get EAD from local INS but I think only after 90 days of filing your 485. I got that for my wife.

I think somewhere in the EAD application instruction, it mentions that you can either mail to CSC or go to local INS office for EAD. I went to local office, took a picture and finger print(for ead, only one finger), signed in a small box, and got the card in 1 hour(would be faster, but the officer who took picture is new to his job, and I took 3 pictures util he was satisfied. He said that they have to do a different job 1 month every year. a nice guy). The card is valid for 1 year.

Signature needed FP on 765 card not needed. I have got EAD without FP but with sign.

my 485 RD/ND is Jan 2001.I went to apply ead last week. I dont know there is a time limit, you can ask ciba or some other knowledgable people in this board.

In my EAD card I do see the Thumb Print on Right side and
my signature above my Photograph !!

So I guess.. Signature and Thumb print are necessary
for EAD.
