Urgent Help - EAD
Hi All,
Hoping anyone can help me with this. I am on L2 and my received date for EAD renewal is Apr 1, 2016 (90+ days and still pending).

At the time I applied for renewal my husband's L1 (and my L2) was expiring on 10-Sep-16. My husband's company applied for L1 extension (along with L2 extension and EAD renewal again - all together) on June 24th, 2016 under Premium processing.

So currently I have 2 EAD application pending at USCIS since my first EAD was delayed (one with received date Apr 1, other with received date June 24).

On July 1, i received update on my old EAD application saying "Name was Updated".
I have been out of work for 1.5 months now (current EAD expired on May 20th) and now face risk of losing employment. Will greatly appreciate if anyone can help me with following questions -

1. Is USCIS holding up my EAD (with April date) to wait for decision on L1/L2 extension (15 day for Premium processing will be over on July 10th). Not sure if they can link old EAD with new extensions filed. If not, if this EAD gets approved, will my expiration date on this EAD be until Sep 10th (valid for around 2 months). In latter case. I will have to go through entire ordeal again and will definitely lose my job

2. Is there anyway I can inform USCIS of current L1/L2 extension receipt numbers which is in premium processing so I get the expiry date on EAD (with received date in April) to reflect update I-94 date after extension?

3. What does Name was updated means? I didn't apply for any change in name details

4. Lastly, any chance that if you apply for L1 extension in Premium with L2 and EAD in same package, all cases will be reviewed by the immigration officer at once, if not atleast they consider my old EAD application pending for more than 90 days and give some grace period.

Aplogies in advance for series of questions, just tensed with fear of losing job. My employer is given me a week's time to obtain the documents else I face termination since I have been out of work for 1.5 months already. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks and all the best to all with pending applications.
