It is also easier for you to go and get an emergency AP. Besides, they can not deny your case without calling you in for an interview. You should be OK. Good luck. My case is stuck in Boston that has a 1 year long waiting for interview. By the way, I was told that at the local office , the line for interview starts from the day they receive the actual A# file.
Go to the "VSC local transfer -Newark thread" and read comments for the last few months- you will get an idea how long people are waiting before their interview at Newark. Take an InfoPass appointment before 7/10/05 (1 or 2 weeks before) and go and ask them about renewing your EAD. Your A file would have arrived by then, if not, they will track it down for you. Your EAD application should be in your A file (mine was in Cleveland). If not, they will track it down in their system and call you back to give you the EAD. For AP, you can apply for one right there when you go for your InfoPass. Visit the Newark district office website and follow the procedure. I applied mine in Boston, they took &165 in money-order which was available within the building. Photographic facilities were also available within the building at Boston. Newark may be similar. If you visit the newark transfer thread and email some of the people who have been there, you will know more of the details. I also realized that an emergency AP (illness/death in family) can be had by the end of the same day at the local office if proof of emergency is provided. However, since I plan to travel abroad for business and vacations, I always get my AP renewed in time. If you send your AP to VSC, they will forward it to Newark because your A file is there. My lawyer said the best thing was to send AP to VSC, that way they will have to enter it into their system and give me a receipt notice before they start screwing it up (in my case they sent it to Cleveland). Please see details of my file transfer saga at http://www.rupnet.net/immigration/posts/reply.asp?id=4983desiladka said:How do I check the interview backlog? I have already applied for EAD at VSC. Will they transfer it as well? My current EAD expires on 7/10/2005. My receipt date for the EAD I applied is 4/13/2005.
Can I go to Local office in Newark before 7/10/2005 to get a renewal EAD? Where do I have to apply my AP now?

It seems like even they recognize that record is incorrect, it is none of their business. Idiots.

akatu said:My current lawer is OK. and I cannot think of anything else that was not done to correct my situation. One extra argument in my favor that IAP-66 issue date was 2 weeks before 180 days kicked in, but for some stupid reason an officer in international student office put requested start of status in 3 weeks.
But all these should be reserved for the court. I think there is no more appeals in my case since MTR denied.
