Ead Asc Fp Code Blank??

[tshroff]

I e-filed the EAD application and saw that the ASC FP code is blank in the confirmation notice.

This is my third online EAD application and on previous occasions the confirmation receipt had the ASC FP code mentioned together with the instructions on scheduling the appointment. However, this time the confirmation notice states the following:

BCIS WILL SCHEDULE YOUR APPOINTMENT to have your biometrics taken at BCIS Application Support Center (ASC). You will be receiving a biometrics appointment notice by mail with a specific date,time and place where you will have your fingerprints and/or photo taken.

• You MUST wait for your biometrics appointment notice prior to going to the ASC for processing

Is this something new? Has anyone seen this before. If yes, then how long does it take to receive the biometrics appointment notice?

Thanks in advance.
