Interim EAD by noon
I went to Arlington, Virginia for a walk-in on Wednesday (April 14). As of the 7th, they dont take walkins on Wednesday afternoon. I was told to come back the next day at 7:30.
I cam back on 15 at 7 AM (there were already 100
people in front of me). They opened at 7:30 and we were directed a room in the secon floor. Waited in the room until 10.00 and was told that I would receive the EAD the same day. I waited some more in a different room and obtained my interim EAD little after noon.
Few things to note:
I had a short telephone conversation with Mr. Khanna. He had reviewed my credentials and he seems to understand my case and also gave me several suggestion on how to go about the green card. Further, he is well aware of the problems associated with the scientific researchers applying for green card. I would recommend his expertise to everyone as now I am aware of process, which is of great help to me.
