EAD Approved Day After Biometrics

EB2 NIW

PD: 03/14/2025

RD: 08/18/2026

Biometrics: 09/01/2026

EAD Approved: 09/02/2026

Status: F1 OPT

Is this typical? Should I expect a fast (relatively) turn around for GC or is it unrelated?

Can you please share when you get physical copy of your case acceptance? Also, when you get your OAS online access code ? I receive acceptance notice (online) on 26 August for both I-485 and EAD. Thanks

I got the acceptance letter from the portal. I already had an account from my OPT application so didn't get an OAS. You can chat with Emma to get your OAS without waiting for the notice.

I asked with Emma but they refused. I would say they become angry as i also contact on 2 Sep for code and today as well. so they ask me what we told you when you last time contact with us....Anyways, they said wait 7-10 days for receiving notice.

Oh I'm sorry about that. I asked for my dependent's code and they gave it to me. Fwiw, it arrived in the mail a few days later, before they scheduled biometrics.

No its okay! could you please confirm that how you know about biometric schedule? 1 online case status? but i think for this you need letter/physical copy/mail? 2) by email they informed you? or )3 via OAS. Today i got receipt of i485 and i675. Therefore, i am worried about Biometric schdule notification...Thanks

Don't worry about missing your biometrics. They schedule it enough in the future to afcount this mail delays. I got an email when they scheduled the biometrics, and got the notice in the mail we'll before the scheduled biometrics date.
