L2 / EAD / Processing times
Hello everyone,

I would like to know if you have any update on EAD renewal processing times for L2-visas. Mine is being processed in California office.

The process I have gone has been pretty frustrating and I fear losing my current job.

- Current EAD expiration date: 3/08/18

- On December 15, 2017, USCIS received my Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization EAD.

- 2/28/18 I submitted a SR to expedite the process under Economic / Financial loss for myself and my company. They replied 3/5/17 requesting additional documentation that was submitted the same day 3/5/18 via fax. They told me sending the expedite request may take them 30 additional days to review but would not have impact on the current processing times

- I didn’t hear back from USCIS and on day 90(3/15/18) I was told I could submit another SR given they were out of the normal processing time. I was told I have to wait for their response.

- 3/16/18 I received an email from USCIS where they said the case was under normal processing time.

- Have called multiple times since then and now I am told I have to wait additional 30 days in order to be able to rise another service request.

I have been put on unpaid leave of absence since 3/8/18 in order to be complaint and I really relay on my current salary and this situation has been extremely frustrating for me and my family. They will save my spot in the office for a little bit more but if nothing is solved I will be forced to leave.
I was able to schedule and info pass meeting for 4/3/18. Is there any success story by doing this? Any particular or additional documentation that I should take with me to the appointment?
I have a couple questions I would like you input on:

- What has been the processing time for L2 EAD renewals from California office?

- Is EAD extension valid until the Visa is valid or the last I-94?
Additionally, last week I just got my Visa renewed 5 more years and I am concerned about filing a new EAD.

- Is this current EAD going to have expiration date with my current Visa? Or would it have the expiration date of the visa information with which I initially submitted the application? (Visa or I-94?)

- In case current EAD dates is based on that was submitted in December and given the extra-long processing times. Should I start applying for a new EAD with my new Visa and I-94 information now? Or would it delay, cancel the current EAD process?

I would appreciate your experiences and suggestions on this matter. I am extremely nervous and frustrated.
