V visa and EAD
Hi Josy,
After reading your posting, I realize that I am in a similar situation and would appreciatew your advice.I am here on a V visa and apllied for EAD in Sept(RD- 09/20/01, ND - 09/21/01. Submitted fingerprints in end of Sept at local INS ASC.
More than 90 days have passed, but I have not heard anything from them.I even went to the local INS office(at San Jose) to try for an Interim EAD but they told me that they do not give EADs to people on V visas.Calling the National Customer Service Center also has not been useful.
Did you get your EAD as yet? I would appreciate any advice in this case. Thanks.

frustrated v visa, want ead myself
The instructions for the form I 765, on page 8, I believe, state that if after receiving no decision from the INS, regarding your I 765, you may go to a local INS office with your receipt notice, they must give you an interim permit to work.I also talked to the INS 1 800 customer service number and they confirmed that an interim permit may be issued 90 days from finger printing appointment.There seems to be a lot of confusion regarding this.To bad that we can not contact the Chicago office directly.Immigration is very disheartening.

EAD based on V visa
It is over 100 days since I applied for EAD. Yesterday, I went to Atlanta INS Office for the interim EAD. But, they told me they cannot issue interim EAD since the application is based on V visa . They asked me to contact Missouri Service Center.

Hi Tina, I applied for EAD on Oct.23-2001.I had my fingerprints done on Nov.23.The local INS told me I could get the interim work permit by Jan.23, if there has been no decision sent to me from Chicag
bviously there is much misinformation out there.I have had conflicting reports from the 1 800 number alsne time they say intermim after 90 days from fingerprinting , the next time they say they do not know anything about interim EAD based on v visa.I do not know what to think.I can not find a contact number for the Missouri center and there is not a contact number for the Chicago center.It gets a little depressing seeing people waiting 90- 100 days.I hope to see some positive results for you and others.

To those who are V Visa Holders And also to those who are waiting for their EAD, please read this. We might have the same case.
I am a V Visa Holder having a V2 status. Last time, I applied for an EAD. In reply, after 60 days of waiting, the INS sent me a notice that my application was denied,much more they told me to leave the US soon as I get their notice. This was to the reason that I am already 21 years old and no more eligible for the status that I am holding. They got this from the Rules and Regulation which they only released last September 7, 2001,posted on their INS Federal register. As my response to them, I answered their notice telling me that I came here in the US last august 14, 2001 a day before my 21st Birthday in a very expedited manner that\'s why there is no reason for them to terminate my status and deny my application in a simple way. Besides, I\'m not the only one who turned 21 before such Rules and Regulation for V Visa Holders were made effective. There are lots of those turning 21 people were been allowed just like my case. Right now,I am still waiting for their reply. It\'s almost a month from now, that they haven\'t yet answered my letter. So to those who are here because of the V Visa and to those who are waiting for their EAD, EXPECT THAT EVERYTHING WILL BE A PAIN IN THE NECK especially when are already 21 years old. The INS are crazy for launching a Visa Program the only made things worst for all of us. Blame this to their mistake!

Thanks for the info. It has been almost 100 days now(fingerprints submitted on 09/27) and there is no EAD. My local INS office(at San jose CA) says they do not issue Interim EADs for people on V visa. Where is your local INS office (if you don\'t mind) ?Has your local INS office agreed to give you Interim EAD? Thanks. Tina

Applying for V visa
Syed,I am sorry to know that,but I am sure she\'ll find another job.Regarding your question,I have done everything by myself.However, I must tell you that I have called INS Customer Service and I have asked to speak to an Immigration officer,they helped me with couple of questions that I was not so sure about.They were surprinsingly helpful.I also have checked INS website and other immigration sites.In your case,I would suggest to consult an immigration attorney,some of them do not charge for a consultation. GOOD LUCK!!
