Hi,
I applied for my adjustment of status(wife is USC). I sent I-485, I-130, and I-765 in one packet. But the fee for I-765 was wrong and my application came back. Then I sent with right fee(to Chicago office) and waited 4 weeks, did not recieve any reciept. I called INS, they told me to send a new one. When I sent new application I recieved reciept for the old application.
My dates are:
recieved date: April 27
Notice date: May 24

The reciept also asked me to make appointment for bio-metrics(ASC code-2). I already have an appointment next week as the recipet for I-485 asked me, ASC code-3.
I called INS yesterday and they told me since I already have an appointment next week, I can use that appointment for this one too(the one came with reciept of I-765, ASC code-2). Its almost 6 weeks I have filed for EAD, anyone can give an idea how long I have to wait? and why I was asked to make another appointment with the reciept of I-765?

Also now I have two application for EAD, will that be a problem?

Thanks in advance.

So you mean, you have send 2 applications (I765) and 2 checks? If they have cashed your both the check, then it might be a problem.
Sorry I am trying to help but couldn't understand what exactly you are asking.

Take the old recept for your I-765, and also a recept for I-485 to Fingerprint. When they do Biometrix, they will scan these two at the same time, then they will do FP for I-485. Then you will be all set. You do not need to make another appointment. This is what they did for me. They only follow the codes in those letters. I did the FP and BIO on May 25th, then my 765 was approved on line the next day. I'm waitting for the mail now. So good luck to you!

Also you can call the immigration office to ask if they received the new I-765 application. I think they will check your record, if they see one on file, they will drop the new one. But you 'd better call and make sure.

Hi Zlin and AmiShah...thanks for replying. Actually after waiting for 4 weeks for I-765 reciept I called INS, the customer rep transfered me to an Officer. She(Officer) asked me to send a new one. I aksed, if in the mean time they find the old one that would be a problem? She said it would be allright. However, I am not sure which one they will process. I called INS yesterday, the person I talked to she did not know what she was telling me. She told me that they will take the cash, she was not even talking....made me so confused if I was still connected. This really frustrating after waiting for 30/40 mins this kind of customer service they provide.

I guess I have a call again next week to get a right answer.

Thanks again.
