Wow, 120 days is a long time. You could have scheduled an Infopass earlier!!
When I got my iEAD, I had to fill out a new I-765 at the counter. Only took 2 minutes. Bring all the letters that you received: Your receipt notices for your original I-765 and I-485, the fingerprint notices, passport and I-94.
They will take another picture and a fingerprint and you will get your iEAD within 20 minutes.
Good luck!

Hello!
I also waited 100 days before infopass appointment and , surprise.... they did not give me the iEAD right away even I had all the documents, instead they make me fill out new I-765 application and then gave me new appointment time, which by the way is tomorrow morning (day 112) to "for issuance of an employment authorization document", well.. I hope you're lucky, I guess it depends of the officer and DO; so far my journey has been kind of bumpy...

I didn't get the fingerprint notice for the I-765 only for I-485, so my guess is that it was the problem.. who knows, I'm also getting worried since I have not got the interview notice.. most of the people here have got theirs extremely early.. 
, well, I'm planning to ask tomorrow what's going on, hopefully I will get some good news for a change!

I just wish on my appointment day i get my ead because i need to help my wife to pay for the bills. can't find no decent job without an ead so im hoping i get mine.by the way thanks for the reply again!
Noyboy, I wish you good luck with your iEAD. When you get it, go to the Social Security Administration right away to apply for your Social Security Number. This process can take a couple of weeks too, so it's important that you apply for it as soon as you have the iEAD. You will get a letter saying that you applied for a Social, that plus your iEAD makes you legal to work. I know what you mean about paying the bills. We are in the exact same situation, and after all this time I'm glad that I can finally help out now. Good luck!!
Snowflake, my iEAD was only valid for 3 months, too. You should get your interview notice soon, and then you won't need it anymore anyway. Or your EAD will get approved before your interview. I think they don't issue iEADs for a longer period of time anymore, because there have been a lot of fraud cases.
Wish you good luck with everything!
