We were sent separate letters for biometrics. First letter received was for AOS biometrics, and the second 1 or 2 weeks later was for the EAD.
Yes having to do your biometrics again would be a delay, since nothing happens until the FBI does the background report from the information gotten at the biometrics appointment.
My family can stay indefinitely w/out the green cards, because I married her. However, no green card, no EAD, no SS numbers, no benefits, no licence, etc.. My family DOES have tax numbers from the IRS, but not all agencies recognize the numbers and is of little help.
