Hi again! 
 

So I’m super excited right now because I received this message last week (see attached photo). I hope this means that my combo card is on its way or at least in the making.

 

My timeline (adjusting status from K1):

- Sent in the package in the end of April (like almost the last day of April)

- USCIS received the package on May 4th

- Received my NOA1 on May 8th

- Received notification on June 26th that my case was updated to show fingerprints were taken (even though I haven’t done the biometrics)

- Received notification on July 2nd that “new card is being processed” for EAD but my friend told me that it was the same for her and she received the combo card (EAD and AP).

 

Did you ever receive your card?

I'm confused how you were able to get your EAD without biometrics? Unless I missed something posted earlier in the thread. My husband is still sitting with "Fingerprint fee received" and "Case was received" as of April 17th. :c

This is really frustrating, and it is hard to believe that there is not a calculated, sinister, high-up decision behind this. If there are no biometrics appointments, a lot of people are stuck in limbo and cannot get their EAD cards. Fewer EAD cards given out, less competition for jobs, and more Americans employed. Flawed reasoning, but that is the only logical reasoning I can think of. Any other reason why they wouldn't schedule fingerprint appointments?

What is even more frustrating is that if you need fingerprints for a Canadian visa, you can schedule your appointment:
https://my.uscis.gov/appointmentscheduler-appointment/ca/en
And don't get your hopes up, this does not work for us as you need a Canadian IRCC number!
You can even do this in Miami, which is now the covid-19 hot spot in the US! If covid-19 was the reason why they didn't open up the ASCs on June 4, they would not open them up now. If they wanted to help us out and make life easier for us, they would.

My hope is that someone with decision-making authority realizes that this is affecting American citizens too. It's not fair to them, and they will vote in November too.

I actually saw this yesterday too and they have available slots for two days after opening my local office so I was even debating if i should make an appointment and just type 0 on the IRCC field 😂 This could at least give an opportunity to go inside but scared not to get in trouble at the same time!

Yeah, tempting for sure, but definitely risky. I just hope they get moving soon! This sentence on their website doesn't give me much hope though:
"If you do not receive an appointment notice or notification of biometrics reuse by mail within 90 days of your ASC reopening, call 800-375-5283."
https://www.uscis.gov/about-us/uscis-response-covid-19
Why is this not within 30 days??

Does someone need to file a suit for everyone waiting for biometrics? Just like these guys are doing for their naturalization ceremonies:
