Received Interim EAD on Nov 7 -- PCee please update
Went to the SFO office... it\'s actually not that bad there (compared to some of the San Jose stories I\'ve heard where people came at 3:30 a.m.) -- I got there at around 7 a.m., was in the door in about 10 minutes, and reached the counter inside after an additional 15 minutes. Presented my paperwork (my lawyers advised me to make COPIES of all receipt notices), and they sent me upstairs to Room 200. There they were still getting set up; there were only about a dozen people waiting for EADs. You put your application in an "in" tray and wait. After about 45 minutes, they called my name, took a fingerprint and took my photo (it\'s a truly awful picture, but hey, it\'s a government ID, right?). About 10 minutes later, I got the plastic card -- valid for 3 months.
The whole procedure took about 90 minutes; I went with a co-worker, and we even had time to grab breakfast before heading to work (we work around there).
If any of you folks are eligible to go to SFO instead of San Jose, I recommend it... it seems to be a lot easier.
