Discuss biochem's I-140 USCIS Case

Hello, How did you get the Finger printing, EAD and AP? Is is Mandatory to get Finger Prints before EAD and AP?

Hi,
I applied in November, received the FP notice in ~20 days. They sent it with a scheduled appointment (It was in Jan). We got it done. In 10 days we received EAD, and then AP in February.
hope this clarifies your question.
