EAD without FP?
Hey folks,
I filed on August 12th and Im in Dallas DO .So far I have not heard anything on the fingerprints yet.I understand this depends on how busy the DO is. Im close to the 70day mark .
Per USCIS website ,it is taking an estimated 11 weeks to process the applications. Im close to that estimation and I was wondering if anyone had received the EAD cards WITHOUT FP?
A friend of mine who filed employement based AOS has received his EAD without FP but is this true for family based applications also or is it different set of rules for us?
Thanks!
EAD needs a single index finger print only. No connection to the complete fingerprints needed for N-400/I-485 applications.
So you need some fingerprint to be completed before the EAD may be received?
Im on H-1B currently and have given FP for immigration services while leaving and entering the country. Im not even sure if those are relevant here.
When I got my EAD back in 2003, I had to submit an index print before it was issued. The prints taken at the airport are for a different reason altogether.
