How long before expire did you guys send the application for the renewal of your EAD?

Wow, 5 months? This means if until next month I don't hear anything about my interview I should send my application as well.

 

Thank you!!!

My initial EAD category 09 is valid from 8/8/18 - 8/17/19. What is the best and fastest way to renew? Will I be eligible to renew 6 months before it expires if there is no decision on my AOS and does it extend 6 more months after the expiration date of EAD?

No i was not adjusting from k1, a medical was included he did acknowledge the first one he looked at the dates and mentioned that the medical had expired and I would need an updated one, so i passed him the updated one, a relative of mine experienced the same but did not want to retake the medical, left the interview with a RFE for the updated medical and had to mail it in. Not every office is going to be the same so i do suggest verifying whatever way you can. Two things the officer said to us were that they are now checking for valid medical and most recent tax return filed jointly 

That might be why ie you were not adjusting from a k1 so your medical although you submitted it already, it technically “have not yet been looked at yet”. But yeah i agree every case is different and the best course of action is always to check with the local office handling the case.

Anyone that submitted the EAD and AP renewal has a reply? 

I submitted mine beginning of August, on 17th of August the status changed to Fingerprint Review Was Completed.

Hi,

I had my interview yesterday. Here is my timeline:

 

10/10/2017: Sent I485, I130, I765, I131and medical examination forms

11/06/2017: Biometrics done.

12/22/2017: EAD and AP approved

01/02/2018: Received my Combo card

Nothing happened for 8 months. 

08/13/2018: Sent EAD Renewal form

08/16/2018: Received Interview notice 

09/25/2018: Interview done, I130 and I485 approved. Card being produced.

Total processing time from bigining to the end: 11.5 months.

 

Interview was easy and the DHS officer was super duper friendly, he asked us how we met and after we said we met eachother in an irish bar, he said you are approved! He asked me some crazy questions from my I485 form like have you killed/tortured somebody? or have you ever committed a crime and did not get arrested for it? Or have you ever tried to overthrow US government? That kinda crazy sht. After that, he gave me a piece of paper about removing conditions from my gc after 2 years. He updated our application file online to “new card is being produced”.

He looked at our photo album in the hallway when he was guiding us outside. He was nice to us and our interview was a happy one, probably because both of us (me and my wife) are young, healthy and good looking!

 

I just want to add that We saw some other couples in the waiting room who were look suspicious! For example a young asian lady around 25 yo with an old man around 45 yo on a wheelchair! Two couples with their lawyers, I don’t know what was their deal, but one of the lawyers lost her sht and told her clients to leave before their Interview. The other lawyer was too cowboy for being an immigration lawyer. 

 

If you are going to have your interview and you are not a fraud, put on a casual formal dress and be happy. Do not worry about Trump! United States is full of decent people who love diversity and appreciate honesty.

 

Sorry for the long post, wish yall happy evening.
