I have a weird case. My wife got an RFE for her EAD requiring new photos. This was issues on 20th of August. I sent the photos to lawyer. May be by september first week INS should have received it. My lawyer says he has proof that INS received it. But the Automated message never changed. I came under impression that INS will not update the message at 100% of the time. She has not got her EAD yet. Still the message says "we mailed an RFE on August 20th.. blah.. blah..". Even if it is rejected because of RFE is 3 months old they could have changed the message. Am I missing anything here. Does anyone know how long it takes to get an EAD from VSC? Can I get a interim EAD from local offices? Thanks for any info.
