I have a K-3, and filed for EAD (but not AOS yet) on 1/19/07

I had my biometric on 2/8/07

I received a letter dated 2/6/08 that my application for EAD was approved and the EAD document (I-688B) was sent under seperate cover, and the notice, in conjunciton with an acceptable document listed on List B of Form I-9 can be evidence of employment authorization until the card is received, but no more than 30 days from notice date (2/6)

TWO QUESTIONS
- From peoples timelines (although many people file AOS and EAD togehter, I did not, but I will be filing for AOS shortly), it looks like this process takes a few months...............from the note, I should have it in a few days, only 25 days after it was received. So, once you receive this approval notice, does the card always come a few days later?........or is there another step in this process?
- How can they send an approval notice two days BEFORE the biometric exam? I figured biometrics clearance was a necessity in getting approval

thanks for your help!!!!

The Biometrics for an EAD is just your fingerprint and a photo... so once your EAD is approved they will make the card and mail it to you.... you should get it soon..

Where is the biometrics usually done?

It usually takes place at your local DHS office. They will send notice of where to have it all done.
