The EAD card itself has biometrics information built into it. As such, no biometrics obtained = impossible to issue the card.

Hi all!   Despite popular belief that this was impossible, my combo card is now being produced! Last time I did biometrics was in the Brazilian consulate, and then at the port of entry.

The card is in production. I have not received it yet. When I do, I can answer this question (if I can tell whether it has biometrics on it?)

Di anyone that file in February get EAD approve without sending a Request?

I filed in Feb (PD: Feb 6th) and I got the EAD yesterday. But I did the expedite request. There is no way you can get EAD without expediting it because as for today the receipt date for I-765 is Sep 08, 2019.

Thank you, but I believe you did do biometrics?

Yes. I did the biometrics one week before the field offices closed. Normally you need to complete the biometrics before making the expedite request. But given the COVID-19 situation, I am not sure whether it's still true.

Impossible to know if anybody did, but it would be far, far, out of the norm to have an EAD issued within 2 months right now. Expect 4-7 months. Some people are lucky in around 3-4 months.
