I walked into the Dallas office for renewing my EAD card as my old one had expired on 11/14 and my H-1 expires tomorrow on 11/22.
Some one had said in this forum they were refused an Interim EAD. I got my new EAD effective 11/21/02 (today) through 11/21/03! 1 Year! I wish I had gone last week instead of waiting for the stupid thing to be approved. My attorney was surprised I got it for 1 year. I think they will cancel my application filed by mail.
As for my experience, I got there at 6:00AM, got in at 8:00, got called to a counter in 5 min.s, she stapled my EAD application form which I had filled out to my Receipt Ntice for the EAD which had been over 90 days and told me to wait in front of Room #3. I dropped the application through the mail slot in the door and 30 min.s later a lady called me in, took my pic, took FP and I was done.
I have heard elsewhere on this Forum of a directive to stop issuing EAD & AP same day. It's not in effect yet apparently.
I would recommend to those working on expired EAD and awaiting EAD renewal to take a chance with local office. I feel much better about it now..
