No questions asked.
Mainly looked at i-765 and 485 receipt notice copies.
No photos or fees needed.
Didn't check passport or DL.
Was a long wait. Took 6 hours to complete.
OmGV..Good news..Got iEAD from Charlotte, NC
OmGV,
First of all, thanks a lot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The good news is that I got my 'Interim EAD' today from USCIS NC local office even before 90 days are not over. As per your suggestion/experience, I took chance today and they give us the EAD valid for 10 months, no question, no more paper asked just I-765 receipt and original application.
See the non-uniform USCIS policy each service center has and the different kind of treatment I got from Atlanta and NC local offices!!. Who is suffering?? It's a lot of pain!!. But, I am very glad that finally got my interim EAD and no need to be without pay for 2 weeks!!
I owe you lot of sweets/some kind of gift cetificate for this..Please let me know, how you want me to send it to you?.

Let me describe my own experince (as I posted this detail in my previous post) that we also faced similar hurdle when we went to USCIS Atlanta local office to get an interim EAD on 02/17/2004 since our EAD expired on 02/21/2004. After counter lady refused to issue token since our 90 days were not over, I am able to convince security guy to help me out. He gave me the officer name and guidance on how/where to approach him. I met this officer and after explaining my whole situation, he asked me to contact main officer (who is authorized to sign) by giving his name. I met the main officer and told him that Mr. xxx had asked me to contact you for my interim EAD issue. He didn’t listen to any thing and asked me to meet the officer who is handling EAD card dept. Finally, I met the officer who was handling EAD card dept and he was finally ready to issue interim EAD card for 8 months after explaining my situation. He went to take the signature of that main officer, whom I already met, on my original filed application and when the main officer looked in detail and found that I am from EB category, he refused to sign saying that ‘forget it since you are from EB category’. He said he don’t care about my situation and comeback after March 04, 2004.
Event though, it was my mistake that I didn’t applied EAD renewal before 90 days, I felt that the main officer did a discrimination against me and EB category, since the two officers, including the officer who was handling EAD dept. were agreed to issue interim EAD before 90 days since my EAD was expiring and this officer couldn’t have gone to take signature at the first place, if they have strict rule/policy.
Thank you!
