Interim EAD Issuance at Charlotte
There is no need to get there early. Try to be there around 9 and they'll give you a ticket. If you are lucky, you'll have your picture taken after a small wait otherwise you'll have to wait for 4 to 6 hours before you get your card. The good news is you'll get without any problems with the exception of the long waiting time.

Catch22 with EAD
I filed for a routime renewal of my EAD with AOS pending at the NSC, the case was transfered to Denver district office. AFter 3.5 months I went to get an interim EAD which was not granted because their records supposedly showed that the EAD was approved. Waited few more weeks went back again, same story. Bottomline is nether an interim EAD nor did theactual EAD ever show as approved online or ever got to me.
I dont know what to do next.
Good EAD Experience
Went to the Local Office at 1.30 PM. Got the call after 2 hours and 30 minutes wait and they asked for the old EAD, New I 765 Form and the I485 Reciept. It took 15 min to finish the process of getting the iEAD. It was a good experience and the staff were quite helpful.
