  • I-131 renewal

    I have applied for AP(I-131) alone on August 5th,2019 and application is still with USCIS under review. My EAD is getting expired July 11th,2020.
    Can I apply for Combo card before I-131 is approved? or Do I need to wait for Approval?
    Appreciate your inputs?

    A combo card is an EAD and an AP, so to apply for a combo card you would need to file I-765 and I-131 at the same time. So are you proposing to file a second I-131 while the first one is still pending? That seems unnecessary. Why don't you just apply for an EAD since you already have a pending AP application? The EAD and AP will be separate, not a combo card, but why does that matter?

    This is my personal opinion and is not to be construed as legal advice.

      Combo card gives 2 years of AP, where as Separate filing of I-131 gives only 1 years of AP.

        Where does it say the combo card gives 2 years of AP? We got ours in September 2019 and it says it expires Aug 26, 2020. I assumed I would have to file for a renewal of our EAD and AP soon.

          seems like I am unable to start a thread. So I am latching on to this thread! Appreciate any help someone is willing to give

          1. For EAD/AP combo card, should the I-765 and I-131 be sent together in the same package? from USCIS website, seems like the filing addresses is the same for both.

          2. I have a pending I-485, my application was sent to Nebraska service center, but sometime along the way, it was transferred to another office, National benefits center. Does this change where I sent the renewal applications?

          Thanks!
