EAD transfer to Arlington local office (HELP)

Hi:

I applied for EAD renewal about 3.5 months ago to the Vermont Service Center. Two weeks after my EAD application, my pending I-485 was transfered to Washington, DC area local INS office, but not my EAD application. I received notice of action that Vermont was going to precess the EAD. Three days ago (about 94 days after receipt date), while I was waiting to receive my EAD, the terrible news arrives that Vermont had transfered my EAD application to local office also.

My question is:

1. Because my current EAD expires in 10 days, should I go in person to local INS office in Washington, DC?

2. If I go in person, should I ask them for interim EAD or for EAD renewal?
How should I explain to them the situation? The fact is that I received notice of action from Vermont saying they were processing it (Vermont Service Center), and they failed to respond within 90 days. Do I qualify for an interim EAD on the spot at the local office? They also have my I-485 file. How much
info should I give them about the situation? How to handle this?


3. Could I also get my wife's EAD documents with me and apply on her behalf for her EAD without her being there?

PLEASE GIVE YOUR FEED-BACK today if p[ossible, I plan to go tomorrow.

You can go there and explain what you have said here. Do not hide the info that it has been transferred. They might check your status on the web anyway.

And please do post a reply here mentioning how it goes.

Thanks!

I got the Interim EAD

I just walked in at the Arlington Office several days ago and I got
an interim EAD for 1 year. Now, my wife couldn't because she had to be
present herself. They do not accept photos unless you want to wait and not
to get the EAD right away. They take you photos and make EADs right away. But all in all, it was fast (by INS standards), had to wait about 3-4 hours.
Those who were there for EADs were assigned one separate counter, so
it went fast. My wife plans to go tomorrow for her renewal, we will see how it goes.
Cheers,
Cezar
