Alright guys!
This is for sure. THis is my story......
Got up at 4:30 this morning, showered changed and drove to boston with my wife.
Got onto I-93 at 6:00 in the morning and got stuck in traffic. Wow how much earlier do i need to go. Any ways, parked at a $18 per day lot and ran to the JFK building, 7:00am.... There was alread a big queue outside and this to the side enterance. Got into the building 7:30am.
got 3 tokens for EAD renewal for my self and 2 Ap's for wife and myself. the also give a notice that EAD and AP will not be given the same day and if we do not hear from them in 30 days come back to the office.
Miss jenkins or what ever her name was is walking around ignoring every one in the room. Finally she calls the first person, takes his documents and vinishes. THis process takes close to an hour.
Its close to 8:30 and no sign of Miss jinkens.
People are getting irritated and so am I.
Suddenly they announce that all officers are called for a meeting immidiately......
So now all the officers are gone for another hour or so. Crap this is getting worse.....
Anyways they come back and realize that there are too many people so 2 more booths open to take EAD and AP's. I start to feel better and Miss jenkins decides to take another break. GOD she is soooooooo F*&^%$n slow.
By 11:00 they accepted 10 to 12 applications, but there was some hope as these people were asked to collect their EAD right away. I talk to some of them and they are not sure how they were getting the EAD the same day.
Now its close to 12:00pm.With nothing happening, they decide to take the applications all together, and suddenly the line is moving a lot faster.
I submit my forms and am asked to be seated and my name will be called. I ask her what is happening. SHE SAYS THEY HAVE THIS CHECK TO DO ISBS, AND IF THERE IS A PROBLEM CASE WILL BE SENT TO INS VERMONT, ELSE WE SHOULD GET EAD AND AP THE SAME DAY.
45 minutes later (1:20) i am called and asked to pay the fee and get the ead renewal done. At the same time AP would take a little longer as they were pringting out a bunch of AP's together.
PHEW! those words sounded so good.
Paid the fee, got the picture taken got new EAD. Surrendered old ead.
Soon the Ap's were ready and our names were called out. Collected the AP's and were out of the building by 3:00 pm.
took for ever but i am so extatic. I had my tickets et all ready for next month.
Remember guys INS boston stops accepting people at 12:00 pm.
I am all set.
Hope this helps you all.
Dont know when rules will change, but my guess is that the rule changed last thursday and they had no idea how to address the issue, hence they sent every one back. They are up and running again, but for how long i dont know.
Good luck to all
