I got the EAD message of approval next day after they collected my bio. And now 3 days after the Bio I got the message that they are mailing me the EAD card.

same here!! i got my bio today and show fingerprints were taken.

@fer sal, wow congratulations so fast. pls share ur timeline

I had my bio app Tuesday, got the same message you got Tuesday too. and today I got the message that they mailed my EAD card.

@fer sal share ur timeline?

my application was submitted on September 16, I had my bio app on Feb 17. on Feb 18 my EAD was approved and Feb 19 (today) they mailed me the card. I guess sometime next week I will have the card in my hands

field office ?

national benefits

@ Jeff Perez, congrats about the biometrics! can you please share your PD and city?

@fer sal, which city did you do your biometrics? congrats btw

Hi all people who are done with biometric can you guys please share their center and field office locations like national benefits center and nj field office.

NBC center, from Massachusetts PD September 15. got bio February 19, the same day I got updated in my case for bio. I would like to know how long it may take for interview? I already got my EAD card renewal before the bio.

@Asim im done for bio today ASC at Elmonte, CA and My I-485, I-765 & I-131 file Nebraska on Nov 2020.

@jeff, from others posts it can be anywhere from a week to 3-4 months ! depends on place and how busy they are and mostly luck’ !

@mac ty !

Good luck and I am happy for you guys... It seems like there is delay for appointments at some field offices... i am from nj and its been 4 months since receipt of i485.

@ali, me too waiting from 3 + months, Charlotte!

I feel you mac I just hope we get our appt notices soon

@ali, hope so!

it varied from case to case. I got my EAD before my biometric apt.

Anik and when did you file? and where are you based?

@Anik, I think you are employment based right ?

mine is EB2-NIW. based on Wisconsin; service center is Nebraska.

may be it also depends on the category like eb2 etc.

Mac I am also employment based... but it doesn't matter I think

As far as I noticed some employment based applicants that applied in the peak of COVID lockdown got ead before biometrics! but after centers started opening then seem to have reduced that or completely stopped giving ead before bio’ I may be wrong but that’s what I noticed from others posts !

my PD is May 26 and I waited until Dec 10 for biometrics. it’s now been over 70 days and still no EAD.. very disheartening but trying to stay positive. You just have to hope you’re lucky enough to get the EAD within 12 months of filing at this point because it seems to be so far delayed.,

thats strange r 92 i heard ead is mailed right after a few days of biometric...

I collected my bio in Raleigh-NC

thanks guys🙏🙌 my timeline is PD: 09/25/20 bio appt: 02/19/21 NBC from Massachusetts AOS based marriage

@fer sal I'm from Raleigh too. my original biometrics were cancelled due to biden inauguration on Jan 19. I got my Biometrics done on Feb 10 and still waiting for movement on 765 and 131.

AOS - NBC Sept 21 PD Feb 11 Bio appt Feb 12 Case ready to scheduled Feb 18 New Card Being Produced (EAD)

@fel sal & jeff Perez with your biometrics at the asc, did they have on records that the biometrics is for both i485 & i765 or it was for the i485 only (and later applied to the i765)? After the bio, did the updates on lawfully app (fingerprint taken) show for both i765 & i485?

@Nana Os for me it was for both 765 and 485, in form and case status

Where are you guys seeing these “change in status?” I had my fingerprints done but don’t see any change on my USCIS online account or e-mail or even on this app! People say they come out of their interviews and check on their phones and see the status change. Where are you guys seeing these changes?

@N K the regular case status that you see in uscis website or if you have them up on lawfully

Hmmmm, Ajay..... I have a USCIS online account as well as lawfully and also my ph # plus my e-mail listed with USCIS. I don't see any updates anywhere. I guess it was just last week so I'll give it some time. I was just wondering where everyone is seeing the upfates and where I should look out?
