You can't pay for the next day delivery but you have an option to pay extra for early delivery (before 8 am) and extra fro Saturday delivery. Sorry but can't remember how much it was now.

The official line is that it takes 5 working days for the passport to get back to you. For some people it took couple of days only but for me it took 15 days (apparently due to a glitch with their visa printing machine). On average, I think it the system does work and most people gets it within the estimated 5 days period.

Good luck.

EAD card production ordered !!! Or so it says on the USCIS :-) and AP approved.

YAY!!!

Congrats Kirsten on EAP and AP approval and Shaz on arrival of the AP!

Shaz, I hope you feel better soon so you can use the AP to go and see your mum as you planned. Get well soon, babes.

BTW, I just checked USCIS and to find that the card production for EAD has been ordered and AP has been approved. Over the moon happy. Maybe now I can get some of my independence back :-)

Thanks for the quick reply - really appreciate it. We have done no biometrics anything, and not received any letter, but this is the case update we have received:

Application Type: I765, APPLICATION FOR EMPLOYMENT AUTHORIZATION

Current Status: Approval notice sent.

On September 9, 2009, we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I765 APPLICATION FOR EMPLOYMENT AUTHORIZATION. Please follow any instructions on the notice. If you move before you receive the notice, call customer service.

This is in addition to the similar notice for the Travel Authorization and the I-485 notice of transfer to the California Service Center.

I guess we will find out?

It is unusual but it appears that you are correct - they've approved your EAD without biometrics. They might postpone ordering of your card until your biometrics are done but for all purposes you are done with EAD and AP. CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Hi Guys,

I received an email saying that my case referring to I-485 was transferred to CSC? Is this good? California is far from where we are, its gonna be hard for us at the time of our interview.

Don't worry Dalyn, that seem to be the case with most of us (living far away from California, I mean). The transfer seem to indicate that you might not have an interview but there are known cases on VJ where the paperwork was sent (after the transfer) to a local office just for an interview. But I wouldn't worry, these cases are few and far in between. So try to relax... :-)

We filed for AOS+AP+EAD and it was received on August 22nd. We were just notified of approval of the temp EAD and AP and that it will be mailed to us, AND that the I-485 was transferred to the CSC as well (we should be the Vermont Service Center normally I believe). I have heard this is due to case backlogs building and it shouldnt have any impact except for slight delays perhaps.

We have NOT received a Biometrics appointment letter yet - is this a problem and has it been too long or is that what comes in this "Approval" information for the I-765 and I-131?

Any help would be appreciated.

It is very unusual to get I-765 approved without biometrics. Are you sure it was approved?

Their AP was approved only and not the EAD. No doubt that will follow shortly after their biometrics.

Just checked my status on USCIS website. The production of EAD was ordered and AP approved on 9-09-09! Yay!

I checked a couple of days ago and my AP was approved too and since I havent taken my biometrics (I have appt this friday) I only have a 9-03-09 touch on rhe EAD

How can you get approved if you didn't have your bio yet?
