HOUSTON, TX marriage-based filer here!
Hello, everyone! Glad to have found this post, & like many of you will share my experience here with you all, hoping for support and reassurance.

Long story short:
I was brought to the US as a child in the 90s on a tourist visa, and overstayed it. I obtained TPS status in 2001 and have had it since. I married my husband in July 2016, (he is a USC) and he petitioned for me in Sept. 2017.

Because I already had my EAD from TPS we decided not to request it with the initial filing. However, given the turn of events with TPS and not knowing what was going to happen, if TPS would be renewed or not, I changed my mind at the end of 2017, and we sent off EAD app at that time.

Here is my timeline so far: (Houston, TX)
Filed I-130 and I-485 together in Sept '17, Filed EAD in Dec '17

PD: 09/26/17
Biometrics Notice: 10/07/17
Received yellow courtesy reminder to bring Med Exam & Vaccination Record to interview: 10/20/17 (it was recommended I do not send that right away because it expires in 1 year and Houston is taking longer for interview, sadly)
Biometrics Completed: 10/23/17
EAD Receipt Notice: 12/19/2017

Now, my TPS EAD is set to expire in March, and I didn't renew my TPS EAD, only my TPS STATUS one last time this month, as soon as they allowed us to- since I had already requested the EAD through my AOS petition.
Hope this part isn't confusing.

I am so worried, because I graduate this May, and I work, and my EAD expires in less than 1 month, and I have not received my new one :(

Any input, about anything, please, comment! Especially HOUSTON filers, or someone with TPS status! Thank you, and may GOD bless us all throughout this journey.
