Just as a side note from my experience: I had my biometrics scheduled for Christmas Eve of last year but when I got there, there were signs on the door to say the office was actually closed on the day (with a lot of people having turned up).

The USCIS website has a section for office closures which would be worth checking closer to the day and on the day of your appointment just to make sure it is actually open especially if you have a long journey to get there. 

We submitted in November 2019 and have been "Ready to Schedule" since January. I remember SF already had a long wait time when we submitted, so with everything that's gone on/going on, I can only imagine it's longer now. 

Hi,

I attended my biometrics appointment for I-485 and I-765 yesterday and from what I've read on the forums, I'd now be able to ask for my EAD to be expedited if I met the right criteria. I just had a couple of questions.

1) My case status hasn't changed on both the old and the new sites for my I-485 and I-765 (Fingerprint fee was received/We received your case for I-485, Case was received/We received your case for I-765); is this supposed to be updated after my biometrics appointment?

2) I know that I can apply for jobs at the minute (but not actually work until I have the EAD in hand); what is the best way to bring up my status about awaiting EAD and the possibility of an expedite when it comes to the application process/interviews?

Many thanks,

R
