Extending EAD

[slimbolina 48]

I had my K1 approved in April, moved to the States in June, married in July, applied for AOS in August. My I-485 hasn't been approved yet but my EAD expires in March. USCIS states that application to extend the EAD should be made 90 days prior to the expiration date. This leaves me in a bit of a quandary because there's no telling when the AOS will come through and I've only just received my EAD! Should I apply for the extension or wait? I just don't know. Thoughts?

The EAD should be good for a year. Weird they only gave you one good for a few months?

 

I got ours a little before you and they are good for a year.

 

but year I would renew it.

It's good for a year from K1 approval and obviously I only had iyhe EADapproved in November and the expiration date is March 2017. So in theory I need to apply now to have it extended! It's crazy.

You should apply to renew 120 days before your current documents will expire if there's no sign of your green card.

Didn't you apply for the EAD with the AOS. Package? Then it should be good for a year from approvel date of the EAD. Seems really weird. 

 

But apply for renewal so you won't be without.

Yep, applied for it all together in August but that's the date they've printed on it so I guess I'll just have to have it extended already. I have a job too so I must not let it expire. And yes, it's an error I think as I would have thought it would expire in November 2017, a year from approval.

Yeah exactly you don't want to be without when you have a job! ... Hopefully the GC will be approved before there but better save then sorry.

11/03 is NOT 11th of March..... I'm so embarrassed right now!  

 

I could have not said anything but it's worth a laugh at my incredible brain fart yesterday, right!!

 

JUST as USCIS answered my call and I gave my receipt number I realised what I'd done and I told her, she found it too funny also, but whilst I had her on the phone I had her look up my I-485 and basically I have to wait until August 2017 to call back, which is standard and what I expected but I said I'd make use of her since she answered the phone to me!!

 

All in all, a good morning ha!
