EAD - pickup or receive ?

I got lil confused with how the process of getting EAD works. Some people say that they got EAD thru mail and some say that they went to INS office to pickup the EAD. Will we get the EAD thru mail or should we go and pickup the EAD ?

Can someone clarify? thanks in advance

-milpride If its married based and through MSC, then you will get by mail. Dont be confused. Be happy all the time. Good luck.

thanks dip !!

one more silly (may be dumb) question....in case if we have to pickup the EAD, should the beneficiary go ? or the petitioner go ? or any one of them can go to pickup the EAD?

Hey,

You pick up your EAD at your local INS office if it is an interim EAD. Your permanent EAD is issued by the National Service Center and mailed to your door. This policy of mailing the EAD has recently been enacted for family based cases.

I should knowm, my husband has had 4 EADs!! For three years, he had to pick up them in person at the INS office. Then, this year, he had to get an interim while the permanet was still being processed. He made an in person visit for that one too. About a week later, the permanent one was mailed to him. All four times he made his trip to INS, he went alone.
