Interim EAD
Went to San Jose at 3.30 am and stood in the line.We were # 66.There is a roach coach which comes at 6:00am they sell coffee, donuts etc.There are some make shift restrooms too.....not too clean though !!!!!!!Make sure to wear warm clothes and closed shoes...can get pretty chilly and get folding chairs/newspapers to sit on.The office opened at about 7:15 and we were in at apporx.7:45.The officer called my number at about 10.00 am, ok\'ed everything and gave me a bunch of papers ( i had taken photocopies of my EAD & 485 receipts)which i had to put in a tray,in the EAD area. I was soon called for a photograph, i also had to fingerprint my right hand index finger. I was asked to wait in the waiting area and about 10 mins later i had my interim EAD.There was no fees what so ever.
This is a very simple procedure dont understand why it takes the INS 120 days to do it????????????
IMP: the San Jose INS serves only people from San Jose,Santa Clara,Monterey & San Bentino counties. People from Alameda need to go to SFO....
All the best!!!!
