Intrem EAD at Chicago Local office



I have applied for my 3rd EAD on May 11,2005. My current EAD was expiring on July 23,2005. Since It has been 70 days, and I have not received the new EAD, I got the infopass appointment for today @7:30 and got out from there at 8:30 with IEAD for 3 months. Here is what I've noticed.

Got there at 6am and there were already about 80 people ahead of us.

At 6:15 they started handing out tickets. At 7:30 we had ours.

Went inside to sit down and at 7:45 our number came up. Handed over copies of the I-765 and I-485 receipt notices (it speeds up things if they do not have to make the copies) and newly filled out I-765s (they want them).

Applied for INFOPASS appointment on completion of 90 days.



Went Federal plaza @12pm for a 1pm appointment, promptly admitted.



Directed to third floor no one on line, given a number and I765 to fill up and asked to go to 9th floor.



When I got off the elevator, and entered the room my number was called ( that fast, fortunately I took an I 765 form all filled up, or else I wouldn't have time to even complete it!!!)



1.30 hours wait for processing and photos/finger print etc.

* filed for EAD 3rd Renewal with RD June 28th at TSC but no response till today.



* went to San Jose USCIS office on Sep 27th for IEAD as I stay in Bay Area.



* Though had an appointment, it is about Hour and half before i was called to the window.



*Approved EAD for 8 months with no questions asked by just looking at EAD recipt notice & passport and taking a pre-filled EAD Application, copy of I-140 approval notice and I-485 notice.
