EAD for VAWA (initial or renewal?)
Hi,
I am preparing for my VAWA application and I have some questions about my EAD.
After dating for three years, I got married in May 2019 and very soon my husband started to reveal his true colors. He started to abuse me verbally, psychologically, and emotionally. He tried to attack me once in Oct 2019 and that was the moment I woke up from this abusive relationship.
We are currently separated and the judge granted me a protective order to get away from him. I receive my EAD card in late Nov and started my job in early Dec. I need to keep my job to make a living. However, my attorney seems not sure about my EAD card status.
My current EAD card is a combo card under the c(9) category (pending I-485). I am very confused about EAD card for VAWA. It seems a lot people apply I-765 & I-131 along with their VAWA I-360 application. But the USCIS instruction document says I-765 is only valid for approved VAWA.
My questions are:
1. Should I just renewal my current EAD card every year? Or, should I re-submit a new I-765 to initial a new EAD under c(31) VAWA category?
2. If all I need to do is the renew my EAD every year, when should I renew it? My current EAD card will expire in the end of Dec 2020.
Because of the EAD card status, I am currently very nervous. Hope someone can help me with it.
Thank you in advance.
