Interview BEFORE update on EAD. States 'Initial Interview'

[mac_n_cheese 0]

Hi guys

I submitted my AOS paperwork mid July and have now received my interview date for early October. I applied for my EAD at the same time as my AOS, but the case status for my EAD has not changed at all. I had my biometrics in August. Is this normal? Will I likely get my green card in October and have no need for the EAD?

Also, my Interview notice states "Request for Applicant to Appear for Initial Interview'. Why is it stating "Initial"? Does this mean I will have more than one interview? or do all interview NOA's state that?

Thanks in advance

The officer may schedule a second interview if they feel that the decision cannot be made after the first interview.

That could happen (greencard first) or you could get the EAD days before the interview. Timelines vary a lot so almost anything is "normal". Not likely that you will have a second interview.

Agreed, if I remember, our notice said something similar and we ended up only having one interview. As to the possibility of the GC coming before the EAD count yourself lucky if this occurs. Many people are still waiting on their GC and have to go through an extension of the EAD.

Good Luck on your interview.
