EAD Full timeline and Comment
16th November - e-filed form and fee
25th November - Hard Copy receipt and Case Number
28th November - Biometrics appointment for 16th December
USCIS says Case Number dated 8th December is in Progress. This appears to be the 'start' date, not the earlier receipts.
16th Dec - Biometrics
4th March - 'card ordered to be produced'
6th March - 'Given to USPS'
8th March - USPS Estimated delivery
9th March - Actual Delivery
Comments:
End to end, this is longer than 90 days. Suggest anyone allow 100 days or so
I was an E2 Visa Spouse. If you are, note you need copy of your marriage certificate for USCIS and the original or an extract certified by the issuer to get a Social Security number. Do this in parallel - it can take 4 weeks.
In my opinion, the form filling certainly does not require the assistance of an attorney.
Some attorneys indicate an E2 spouse does not need an EAD to work. Neither USCIS or the employers I raised this with are willing to rely on the legal cases the attorneys reference.
Sorry this may not answer specifics, but I found others timelines helpful, so thought it worth sharing.
