EAD California service center
Hi all,

Just applied for a new EAD card. Current card expires mid-march.

that means I only have 2 months and I am hearing some scary stories about the long wait. I currently have a great job and would like to stay. As far as I am aware I will not be able to work after my current EAD card expires (A17 category) and will not be eligible for an automatic 180 day extension.

Questions:
- is there a solution to keep working for my employer?
- Any experience on California service center with EAD renewal? is it correct that it really takes 5-8 months?
- Can my employer simply terminate my contract, or do they have to put me on unpaid leave? What are the rules?

Visa: E-2 Dependent
Service center: California service center

Thanks in advance for your help here! I really appreciate the help.

Thanks!
