Updated the tracker with my information.
Biometrics - had scheduled for 10/14, but walked-into the San Jose center on a Wednesday and got it done. They interpreted it to be ASC code 2, and just took prints of one finger, in addition to signature and photo. My I-485 LUD got updated on that day. Questions:
1. It seems biometrics results are out only for pklam so far (based on his status update on I-485), and he had gone to Oakland center who took all 10 fingerprints. Hypothesis: you need fingerprints of all 10 fingers (ASC code 3) for the processing to continue. Does anyone have any information or experience to prove or disprove it?
2. Has anyone tried to go for repeat fingerprinting with all 10 fingers, after having already gone for 1 fingerprint - without any new letter from BCIS? Does anyone know if they will allow this? (The ASC staff, not the guys that only give appointments - they know nothing).
3. Has anyone tried walk-into San Jose Center on Friday or Saturday? Do they entertain? If so, then I am willing to try repeat fingerprinting for all 10 fingers, and report the results to you all.
4. I am expecting my AP and EAD approval anytime soom, and am planning for a trip to India. How soon do you get physical EAD card and AP after approval?
Thanks
