RFE stating 'Photos Missing' on E-Filed EAD

I had concurrently E-filed EAD & AP. The AP got approved. I got an RFE on my E-Filed EAD. I went for photo & fingerprinting at the date/time/venue USCIS gave me.

This is the exact text of the RFE:

"You have either submitted an incorrect photo pose OR have neglected to include passport style photos in your I-765 application. Full frontal photos are the set standard.

USCIS must comply with new international agreement standards for travel document photos to comply with US Department of State passport photo guidelines. Form I-765 must be accompanied by two passport style natural color photos: therefore, please submit two color photos of yourself, taken within the last 30 days, and not previously used.
"

What suggestions do you gurus have to handle this situation? If the photos were taken by ASC, why is USCIS asking me to submit paper-photos.

I am afraid I will not get my EAD in time - inspite of applying more than 100 days before my current EAD expires. What are my options?

Thanks in advance!
 
Wait-wait... I believe you might be confusing (a) your photograph captured by ASC (together with your fingerprints), for your final green card, and (b) 2 passport style paper photos that you are supposed to include with your I-765 application. You must have sent 2 photos fewer than required with your original package. I don't see any other options for you but sending in 2 more passport photos in reply to RFE. Go to Kinko's for instance, they are instant and pretty cheap.

Nah - you are missing the point ....
The OP efiled the EAD - you don't send photos when you eFile -- you go to the ASC and have them take your photos for the EAD (similar to the 485 photos).

To the OP:
Its a really weird RFE -- just send the photos as they requested and hope they get it on time.
