Congrats Froddan,

I still havent heard anything about mine, Got my AP approved but no change in EAD. Had a LUD change in my AP for yesterday again but no news on my EAD.

Folks any suggestion

Thanks for the Help
 
Time from Approval to Receiving the Card?

Thanks!

What's the estimated time from AD to actually receiving the card in the mail?

I think I should apply for the AP, maybe electronically, has anyone had any experience with the Electronic AP filing?

interim EAD

ari4u said:
FP/Biometrics fees of $70 is included with the I-485 fees, hence you dont have to pay extra for FP.

Hi,

could you please tell me if they asked to see your passport when you went for your interim EAD. what did they ask to see?

Hi Anna05,

It is better to take your passport as well as your drivers lisence. They will ask for your id when you go into meet the Immigration officer.
 
I would like to join the timeline, sent my complete pkg to the local USCIS office but they forwarded to NBC/MSC. I live in West Palm Beach, FL. I also have a question, could it be possible that NBC/MSC forwards the EAD/AOS case back to the local USCIS office? :)

Does anyone know the best way to notify bcis about the change?

Thanks!

You need to file AR-11 to inform DHS of your address change.

You need to call USCIS to update your applications with the new address.

If your sponsor is also changing address, then I-865 needs to be filed.

I was asked for my passport and drivers license when i went to get my Interim EAD.

I was also asked to show the I-765 receipt notice and I-485 receipt notice as a proof of being eligible for the c(9) category. You need to take with you a completed I-765 but you dont have to pay the fees again.

For all the folks who have received their EADs and APs, did your online change to reflect your EAD and AP approval? Also, did you all get an email when the online status changed? Thanks.
