EAD Card Extension
Hi everyone, I am married to a US citizen and applied for a marriage based Adjustment of Status (I-485) concurrently with a new EAD (I-765, category c9). I'm currently on STEM OPT (EAD category c3C), which will expire in February 2021. If my new EAD card (from the green card application) does not arrive before February 2021, I have two questions:
1) Can remain working in the US since my green card application is pending?
2) Can I apply for a renewal of my EAD card even though the categories are different (STEM OPT c3C vs. AOS c9)

Any help would be greatly appreciated! To give more context and inform others of wait times, my timeline is as follows:

07/09/2020 Application received by USCIS (I-485, I-130, I-131, I-765)
08/05/2020 Request for Evidence letter received from USCIS
09/10/2020 Response to RFE received by USCIS
09/21/2020 I-693 Deficiency Notice letter received (I will bring the medical examination form, I-693, to the interview when that gets scheduled)

Thanks in advance everyone!
