EAD (WorkPermit)

Hello All!

I am a Seattle filer for Marriage Based Green card.

I filed all my paperwork on 12/19/19 and I received my initial EAD on 5/24/20.

I am still waiting for my interview, however, when I applied for the EAD renewal since my initial EAD is set to expire this year on 5/24/21, my card is being produced within 3 weeks of filing the paperwork.

USCIS received my paperwork on 1/12/21 and I see the notification on the USCIS website which stated " On January 29, 2021, we ordered your card to be produced. "

Just wanted to let you guys know but please make sure to file your renewal paperwork on time cause you never know.

Hi! I'm married to a USC, and we submitted my green card application package (I-485, I-130, I-131, I-765) last September 2020.

I’m currently authorized to work through my STEM OPT status which is set to expire in March 11th 2021. I got the receipts of my green card application (I-797C notice of action) in early October 2020. However, I'm getting nervouse since it's almost February and I still have not received my biometrics appointment -or most importantly- my new EAD card.

So again, my current EAD is going to expire in March.
Does the Notice of Action extend my previous EAD by 180 days or because they are not in the same category (C03C vs C09) I am basically screwed and will not be able to work?. Is this normal or do I have enough reasons to be concerned? What options do I have in terms of calling USCIS and put in a request to expedite my case?

This is my timeline:
Thursday 9/17/20 - Package shipped
Monday 9/21/20 - Package received at USCIS
Friday 10/2/20 - Check cashed out
Sunday 10/4/20 - Notice Date
Monday 10/5/20 - Text notification received
Tuesday 10/13/20 - Notice Received
Nothing since then...

For everyone who likes numbers as much as I do - here's the 2020 situation: https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/reports/Quarterly_All_Forms_FY2020Q4.pdf

I called several times but the automated voice does not direct me to a person, to whom i can speak about expediting my request. How did you guys get through? Please help !

I just lost my renewed EAD. Please how do I apply to replace it?
Is it like applying for a new one again?
Do I have to submit both EAD and Advanced parole application?
Do I have to pay application fee even with a pending I-485?

Hi everyone, please help me with my situation. My EAD expires on March 11, 2021
My husband's L1 extension was filed in September end 2020 (before premium processing was announced), alongwith my L2 and EAD. All are in process and given the current situation and timeline, i dont expect any movement on my EAD
Our 1-485 was filed on Oct 31, 2020 alongwith its EAD under EB1 category - currently, it says 4 to 9 months timeline, already more than 2.5 months have passed. Is there any way i can ask for expedite of EAD filed under i-485? Please tell me what i can do? I have lost all hopes of getting my L2-EAD for the next 6 months and i think the only option is to expedite my i-485 EAD, Please guide me - thanks a lot !

Hi everyone,

Thank you so much for all your help. I married a US citizen and filed i-485, i-765, i-131, i-130 on 2/24/2020. After a long 11 months waiting on the EAD card and a bunch of calls, today 1/15/21, the status finally changed to “New card being produced”. The status never changed to approved or anything. I’m not sure why. Do you know how long it would take for them to mail the card?

Thank you!

Hello Friends,

We have to go for L1 Extension and L2 EAD Extension in a few months. Could you please answer my questions:

1) There was a bill passed, I think, last year to avail premium processing for L1 Extensions. Is this feature available being allowed now for user to avail premium processing for L1/L2 Visa Extension?

2) Can we avail premium processing for L2 EAD Extension as well?

3) Can we submit application for extension of both Visa and EAD together at the same time? Or Visa has to be extended and only then we have to submit a different application for EAD

Request you to help us.

thanks,
Sree
