EAD Processed in 2 months without Biometric
Hi All,
I gathered a lot of information from valuable comments from this forum and thought now it's time to pay back. So here's my detailed experience..
In short, I got my EAD approved in 2 months, without Biometric, RFE and to clear out dilemma which a lot like me have owing to our jobs back here, I did not stay in US for the entire duration. I only waited for a month, to ensure that I am present if there's a biometric , which usually happens within a month.
A couple of things I want to highlight though - I tried to doubly sure that I send as many document proof as possible with clear markings and a cover letter. Also, I did have SSN number from my earlier visit (was earlier there on H1B for over a year).
Here's the timeline:
1. Tried to fedex (Same Day) on May 27 to Lewisville (Dallas) Lockbox Facility... It was apparently returned by USCIS because it was Same Day Delivery. Not sure what's the issue with Fedex Same Day - No comments or reviews available online to suggest that they don't accept Same Day but Fedex returned it stating USCIS didn't accept the delivery.
2. Without wasting time for that packet to return next day, I posted another set of documents on May 27th itself to USCIS, Lewisville Facility by USPS Priority Express (guaranteed delivery)
3. Packet got delivered on May 28, 12 PM..
4. Cheque got cleared on May 30, 2014.
5. Email Notification for Acceptance of Documents Received on June 2, 2014. This contains Receipt Number.
No updates then on until Aug. I didn't raise any query either.
6. Status Directly changed from Initial Review to Card Production on Aug 1. The notice says that the card would be delivered within 30 days...
7. So total days in decision... Precisely 2 months..
8. Card Shipped on Aug 7, 2014
9. Received card on Aug 9, 2014
I came back to India after applying EAD and staying in US for a month, from May 24 - June 29.. I did doubly ensure that I send as many documents as possible.
