  • Has anyone applied for interim EAD?

    Hi,

    My case for new OPT was received by USCIS on May 2nd, 2018. I understand that it could take up to Aug 2nd to receive my EAD. In case I do not hear back by then, can I apply for an interim EAD as per the following? I got this from the USCIS website.

    (d) Interim employment authorization. USCIS shall adjudicate the application within 90 days from the date of receipt of the application, except in the case of an initial application for employment authorization under 8 CFR 274a.12(c)(8), which is governed by paragraph (a)(2) of this section, and 8 CFR 274a.12(c)(9) in so far as it is governed by 8 CFR 245.13(j) and 245.15(n). Failure to complete the adjudication within 90 days will result in the grant of an employment authorization document for a period not to exceed 240 days. Such authorization shall be subject to any conditions noted on the employment authorization document. However, if USCIS adjudicates the application prior to the expiration date of the interim employment authorization and denies the individual's employment authorization application, the interim employment authorization granted under this section shall automatically terminate as of the date of the adjudication and denial. (Revised effective 11/28/11; 76 FR 53764)(Amended effective 7/6/09; 74 FR 26933 ) (Amended 7/1/94; 59 FR 33903 ) (Amended 1/4/95; 59 FR 62284 ) (Amended effective 6/22/98; 63 FR 27823 ) (Corrected 7/21/98; 63 FR 39121 ) (Amended effective 6/11/99; 64 FR 25756 ) (Amended 3/24/00; 65 FR 15835 )

    I want to know:

    (1) Has anyone applied for this in a case similar to mine (new first-time OPT application)?
    (2) What was your experience? How long does it take? Do you have to make an appointment before you go the USCIS office for this interim card?

    Thanks,
    Aravinda

    I am in the same boat and curious if you were able to get further information elsewhere.
