Surrendring the EAD Card and SSN Card

[immihelp]

Hi,

You site has been so helpful and I wanted to thank you for listing the information as you have.

I have one more questions in relation to me and my wife:

I have an L1 and she is on L2 Visa. she got her EAD and now will apply for SSN. After my work in the US is done, and we are returing to our home country, should be cancell the SSN (hers and mine) and return the EAD + cancell the same?

Can you let me know?

[immihelp]

There is nothing to cancel. You can just leave when you wish.

Thank you so much for the reply. 1 Last question:

After I've returned to my home country, should I have return back to the US for work (L1 again) Can I continue to use my SSN Card and wife user her EAD + SSN?

[immihelp]

You can keep SSN for life time.

But for EAD, it expires after 1 year. And within 1 year, you can use it only it is valid just like it now, that is under valid L2.

[immihelp]

Understood. If we return after it expires, can we renew using the same? or do we have to go through the process all over again?

This should be my last question - Sorry :-)

[immihelp]

All over again.
