For asylum yes you will need to do your biometric first and you can confirm that with your lawyer if you have one.Are you sure?
I looked at the instructions for EAD application and it only specifies that you should include your I-589 receipt notice (or interview notice) and biometric notice to prove that you have a pending asylum application. For other categories like DACA and EB it specifically requires fingerprints to be taken for EAD.
In my case, I got the EAD just on April without any Fingerprint or appointment to ASC.For asylum yes you will need to do your biometric first and you can confirm that with your lawyer if you have one.
The new regulations schedule ASC appointments for every EAD.In my case, I got the EAD just on April without any Fingerprint or appointment to ASC.
@7of9 What do you think about it new rules? If someone applies before 'Aug 21, 2020 ' then when he can apply for EAD?Yes.
It even says that transferring your case to another asylum office might be a delay that bars the applicant from getting EAD.
They have changed that rule as well. The EAD is no longer based on asylum clock. Whether a delay has triggered the clock to stop or not won't matter according to the new rule. The new rule says that if 365 calendar days (not clock days) have passed since your application, you can apply for EAD. However, if you have caused any delays, such as transferring your case to another office or failure to appear for the interview, your EAD application will be denied. So, be very careful.This was always there. It causes to stop the clock

I spent the entire last night studying the 300 page draft. Everyone should do the same.
Also, of you applied for asylum after the one-year deadline but before this rule goes into effect (Aug 25, 2020), you will be exempt from the EAD ban.
Hopefully, these regulations will help reduce the number of applicants in the future.
Hi Msv5450!The new regulations schedule ASC appointments for every EAD.
Does USCIS typically send a receipt notice after they receive EAD applications?
How long is this EAD valid for?
In my case, I got the EAD just on April without any Fingerprint or appointment to ASC.
Hi BetterWorld!So, you didn't have to attend fingerprint before getting EAD or you had fingerprints within a year previously?
google "I-765 asylum EAD instruction".Hello. I have a question regarding EAD renewal request for (c)(8) (pending asylum) class.
What documents need to be included for the renewal request?
I only found a checklist on USCIS website (uscis.gov/i-765Checklist) but it only addresses the initial request required documents and not renewal.
google "I-765 asylum EAD instruction".
You should include a copy of your initial EAD too.
You can submit a copy of your interview notice or the receipt notice of your I-589 to show that the case is still pending under review.Thank you but all the results only mention the initial request documents. I wasn't able to find a checklist for renewals that includes anything other than I-765 form and copy of initial EAD. I'm not sure if I should include I-589 or not. Or USCIS receipt of I-589.
There is also this: Evidence that your asylum application remains under administrative or judicial review. What documents are accepted as evidence here?
You can submit a copy of your interview notice or the receipt notice of your I-589 to show that the case is still pending under review.
After you applied for your initial EAD, did the USCIS schedule a biometric appointment for you? I mean an extra fingerprint separate from the biometric that you do right after applying for asylum
My lawyer mailed new evidences to the office, but during interview my officer said she didn't get them yet. My lawyer brought more copies with him and gave them to asylum officer there which worked out great.My lawyer said that you can submit evidence on the day of the interview too but the AO will not take a look at the evidence right there. Their COVID policy is to quarantine the submitted material for 3 days before review.
