johns Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 I am still waiting for my wife's ( I like the sound of that) EAD approval. I am a bit confused on where this processing is taking place. so correct me if I am wrong. We had her temp stamp at POE JFK and it just expired so were are eager to receive the official card and start working again. Employer said stop until you have the card. We mailed the I-765 along with the I-485 as you can see on my timeline.so the process dates I should be checking should be with 1. The national Benefits center MSC for the "I-765 mailed with AOS" status? 2. Our local office for the "I-485" status? We did have an RFE as you can see for the I-485. (quickly resolved also) Does anyone know if that would have an effect on the EAD timeline?I don't think it would Thanks in advance.John Link to comment
Guest Gene Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 When you made your appt. for the fingerprints and biometrics did you mention the I-765 also? and have biometrics done for it? Link to comment
johns Posted June 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 Yes we did and they said 2 to 3 months (just like they all say) which is not out of range yet but this gap is ridiculous. Link to comment
Guest Gene Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 My wife got her's in 17 days, I don't know if that is quick or not. Have you checked on the USCIS site to see what the current status is? Link to comment
lassetter Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 My wife got her's in 17 days, I don't know if that is quick or not. Have you checked on the USCIS site to see what the current status is?Gene:My SO is also a K-3. She arrived with me last week. I have just filed the I-485 and supporting materials along with the EAD I-765. Did your SO receive her permission to work in 17 days? It seems much faster than I thought. When I looked at the USCIS website it looked like two-three months. Perhaps I am misreading the thread. Rupert Link to comment
Guest Gene Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 Rupert, No, the NOA1 for I-765 was April 5th and she recieved the card June 17th so about a month and a half. As soon as you get your NOA1 call and make an appointment to do the fingerprints and biometrics for both the 485 and the 765. That has to be done before thay will process the 765. It took 17 days to receive the card after she had the biometrics and fingerprinting done. Welcome Home Link to comment

Have you checked on the USCIS site to see what the current status is?Yeh... I would say 17 days is pretty fast. I hope this 2 to 3 month countdown does not start after the biometric fingerprinting date. It sounds like the I-765 eventually goes through the local office? Link to comment
tywy_99 Posted June 23, 2005 Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 Took us 111 days from Biometrics to EAD card. Link to comment

david_dawei Posted June 23, 2005 Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 Gene or someone... can a summary be produced about this stage for an FAQ without trying to translate all the responses ?? I am no where near this stage but it sounds important... Link to comment
