Can you add me to the list? I thought I was on the spreadsheet before and now, unless I'm totally overlooking it I'm not there
Congrats Trini
Thank you guys. Hopefully I'll receive it sometime in a week or two. I won't stress now that I know it's on its way
Omorpheus,
I really don't know if FP is definitely required for the EAD for family based applications or not. Now we are in the same DO, I did my biometrics on 10/25 at 10:00AM in CA which will be 1:00PM EST. I understand it takes anywhere from 24-48 hours for the FP results to be sent back to USCIS from FBI. So at the earliest, I was expecting my results to come in by the 26th or the 27th. That will mean that my EAD approval should happen shortly then after. However, I came home same day to see that I had an LUD for my I765 and I485. My I765 card production was ordered same day - it looked weird but I accepted it. Even my I485 worked for the first time on the online status check that same day. Now I wait to see if my FP will be available on my EAD card when I receive it or not - I will let you know and maybe that can help shed some light on your case?
I do not belong to this thread (applied in Sep) but have a question:
I called USCIS today morning that I haven't got any update on FP for either I-765 or I-485 (don't know if they are different or one) and that the status of I-485 and I-130 have not appeared online.
The IO in the backend said that your I-765 has been approved on Oct 26, even though the website says its still pending. I asked that don't you need FP for EAD card and on website it says pending? He said it depends on case to case and that I schedule an INFOPASS and inquire about the FP notice required for EAD. Also, the website may take upto 10 business days to get updated.
So, I don't know if I shud be happy or did he tell about I-131 (AP) status which was approved on Oct 26.
Also, is the thing that family based EAD does not come before FP a fact or a rumor? For those interested, my wife had an EAD from F1 OPT which expired in January this year -- that one also did not have FP.
