Looking at the USCIS fees details page, it seems the biometrics fee applies only for I-485 and AP. Not sure, but this may be the reason why some ppl receive EAD before FP.

1) After filing I485 and 6 months have passed, we all know we can file AR21 and get new employment using EAD with same job duties and title. And mostly i hear that we need to join GC filing company later after getting GC. If this is the case then why we lawyers and other tell its safe to be with GC filing employer after atleast 6 months even though we have stayed with them more than 6 months after filing I485.
2) If my wife is on Student EAD and after getting EAD if she want to switch to EAD from me for various reasons, should she report this to uscis or some one else?
3) After getting EAD, if i want to switch to EAD what should i do?
Friends,

Thanks.
I did not do any thing special. I was like you and gchopeful123 waiting for it ever single day. I just prayed :). I am sure you guys should receive it this week. Keep me posted. My best wishesQuote:

I am glad to see EAD approval in 35 days.
Hi All,
Quick Question. I became current in November and my 140(amended as company changed) and 485 have been filed together. 140 has been filed without premium processing and my understanding is first 140 will get approved and then they will look at the 485 application.
I am not sure if both the processes run parallel. Please suggest.
Thanks for looking at this
an update... got my FP done 10 days early... original appointment 12/15/11 NJ... Went in after lunch and it was almost empty, was sent to the supervisor as today is not my appointment date. Supervisor granted permission without any questions (wrote on the reciept todays date) and got the FP's done for both wife and me...
Questions...
1. What happens after FP?
2. How many days does FBI name check and FP check take?
3. Once the above checks are done, am i preadjucated?
Cool:-)Quote:

Ok..i got it..I was looking at the field office address. Should have been specifically searching for the ASC address. Mine will be Elizabeth too i think. You mentioned you are not from that place. I am neither and trust me, we never want to be near that place...except for this...
Reg questions:
1. What happens after FP?
Prints go to FBI for name check. It seems the FP has no bearing on the EAD approval (as per NSC approvals)
2. How many days does FBI name check and FP check take?
Depends on the current workload. But i have heard anywhere between 1 to 2 months.
3. Once the above checks are done, am i preadjucated?
You can say that - unless the immi officer finds any discrepancies on the forms or wants to investigate the employer etc

Adding to it, if your name is carried by some other person in usa ( same first and last name), it gets delayed by few days and if the person with your name has criminal history, then investigation can take more than 1 or 2 months.
But i heard if your name is unique,there are possibilities of name check completion with in couple of weeks.

Guys, my wife and I got our EAD / AP Approvals today. It took me 36 days from Nov 1st (receipt date). Mine is NSC and I didn't get the notice for finger printing.
Congrats!! Did you get case status notification over email or by turtle mail?
Mera aur gc0907 ka number aayega..zaroor aayega....
NSC is fast on EAD/AP while TSC is fast on FP. But i think both will converge on the GC times.
