  • EAD approval without biometrics?

    Hi all,
    I saw in a lot of threads that there should be a biometrics appointment letter mailed from USCIS after filing for EAD. My wife never got any such letter nor did we go for it. But my wife got an email with the EAD status as "Card production ordered". Does that mean it has been approved and will be mailed? I am confused. Should she still go for biometrics?
    I am on L1 and my wife is on L2. We arrived in the US in Jan 2007.

    Thanks in advance...

    Re:

    Have you chcked your mailbox and with neighbors regarding your Mail? as far as i know, fingerprints are part of the process.

    you can call the USCIS to find out if there was a letter mailed for Fingerprints.but if your card is ordered, then i guess you don't need a fingerprint at this point..

      No biometrics

      My friends never got biometrics as part of their EAD extension. However they got their biometrics completed either before they had applied for EAD extension or after EAD is been approved. In some cases they asked for biometrics within 6 mos.

        Is it possible that they dint ask for biometrics becuase they already took our fingerprints at the Visa consulate and also at the port of entry?

          No biometrics-contd

          I don't think you are getting away from Fingerprints but the timing they request you to go for it is not part of EAD. If they found some thing wrong during biometric clearance they could cancel your I-485 ultimately your EAD is not valid anymore. I think they don't have to stop the process of EAD just becoz of the biometrics were not taken as part of it.

            EAD received without biometrics

            I received EAD card without biometrics. I never received notice for biometrics. On the EAD card its written "Fingerprints not available".

            Did anyone experienced this or suggest me what I sholuld do.

            Is this something that I should worry about?

              Nothing to worry about.

              I am not a lawyer and you need to consult with one to validate any info posted on the forum and discuss your case specifics. H1b Question? Read the FAQ first.

                EAD without Biometric

                Hey Guys, Glad that I have come across this scenario because this is what I have been going through. It has been 2days over 3 months now and my EAD status is still pending. However, I received an email after 45 days from the date of filling that Bio-metric was not necessary for my case. Hence, I shall assume that since your EAD card clearly specifies that no fingerprints were takes,it should be all right.

                However, was there a Bio-metric done after you received the card. Just curious on the Process.
                Looking forward.

                Thanks! Gaurav
                Thanks! Gilbert
