I-765 Renewal NBC
Hello I had a question about the I-765 renewal process
I’m currently waiting for my I-485 Interview and my current EAD expires on June 2021. I sent a renewal form back in January 2021 6 months in advance before my current one expires and the USCIS sent me a receipt notice as well back in January.
It’s been 3 months since then and there was no other news or update about the renewal.
My question is would there be another step like waiting for a biometrics appointment or do I just wait till they approve it?

EAD renewal timeline - RECEIPT and CARD - SHARE your experiences
Hello,
I will be 180 days away from my current EAD card expiration date. I know I can renew it then and this will be my 2nd renewal. On my 1st renewal, I applied in late July 2020 and received it in early October 2020. My employer takes the receipt as valid and I received it in late August. I am thinking about the ideal time to renew my EAD because instead of renewing it every year, the current timelines is making us to renew every 6 months so that we do not miss the opportunity to keep working. I am EB applicant. Please share your experiences!! When did you apply? When did you get your receipt notices and EAD card? Thank you!!

Which expiration date is linked to EAD?
I am L2 Visa holder. My spouse is L1. My spouse passport is expired on 8/1/2021. So he renewed his passport, but his I-94 expiration is still 8/1/2021. Considering USCIS processing time is too long, I have already submitted EAD renewal application including copy of passport(mine, spouse’s old and new one), I-94(mine and his), I-129s.
Which expiration date is linked to EAD?
If his I-94 is updated while I-765 is pending, what happens?
The details are as follows.
My status: L2(expiration 3/18/2022)
My i-94: (expiration 3/18/2022)
My spouse: L1 (expiration 3/18/2022)
My spouse’s i-94: (expiration 8/1/2021)
Additional information: I-129s expiration is on 3/18/2022 with precautionary statement (expire passport date 9/1/2021).

Daca ead card keeps getting sent back.
I have not had a daca ead card since November 2020. I applied in August and got approved already but I do not have posession of my card bc the postal service didnt deliver. They sent the card back twice. I spoke to a USCIS agent who told me they have not received the card yet either and that it may be destroyed when they do get it since it was failed delivery twice. Agent told me to call them next week by Wednesday to check if they have the card. I dont know what to do. I do not have any proper documentation of my status and I am unable to get proper identification without my ead card.

Long Delays Causing Great Stress
Hi, I have had nothing but delay and heartache since applying for I485 with a I-765 EAD Application last year.
Im almost at breaking point.
Date Filed: 6th July 2020
Date Acknowledged: Mid August 2020
Moved Address: Sept 2020
No Updates Until Mid January 2021 where they sent Biometric Appointment, but for old address on other side of the country.
Request to reschedule, based on form stating reschedule to occur within 30 days.
No response since then. Raised 2 Service Requests a month apart. Zero Reponse to either, and when I called last week, was told to wait till this week to apply for a 3rd.
Processing times for 765 then shifted so I am now back in expected processing times of 11.5 months, so I cannot raise my 3rd request to have my case checked by tier 2 SR.
Im broken currently, as I cannot help support our newborn and my wife, who although financially can take care of us, is understandably struggling with taking no time off for our child due to this. When I placed the forms, processing time was 5 months max, plenty of time for me to go back to work before our child arrived. Now I feel they will be 1 before I get any response from USCIS allowing me to work.
If anyone has a suggestion of what to do, I would very much appreciate it.

L2 EAD Wait Times - Vermont SC
Hi all,
I'm curious if anyone else is in a similar position to me or maybe has just received their card and can tell me their receipt notice date?
I applied for renewal exactly six months prior to expiry, receipt date 1/15. My card expires 7/21.I've looked at the processing times online but does anyone have any real examples out there? Are Vermont going quickly or slowly?
My L2 is due for renewal 12/21/21. I know that when my EAD gets here it will only be valid until that date, so before it even expires this time around I will be applying for an extension, pretty much immediately after it's arrival - best case scenario. Worst case scenario it doesn't arrive by July, and I am out of work twice, once in July and once in December if things are going slowly.
I will be applying in country for my L2 extension, which I understand is taking quite a long time at the moment? Can I apply for the EAD concurrently? Will they be approved together?
Feeling hopeless currently at the thought of a long period of time where I'm not very employable!
Good luck to everyone else out there who's waiting on their card!
