Hello ... here it goes!!

My fiance has an EAD that expired 7/28/08.

We are doing our AOS papers.

For the I 765 should i check the box that says renewal of EAD?

and have we applied for an EAD from USCIS before? we didnt they just gave him the ead stamp at the POE

HELP

in how to address this in the aplication =)

No, you're not renewing your current EAD, you're applying for a new EAD in a different category. The stamp is a category [a][6] EAD, and with your AoS application you will be applying for a category [c][9]. On I-765 mark new EAD.

He never received an EAD (Employment Authorization Document), he probably just got a stamp at JFK allowing him to work for 90 days, but that's not the EAD you'd be applying for with the I-765.

The stamp is an EAD. It's a stamp version of a category [a][6] EAD card, just like you can get an I-551 stamp in your passport which is the same as a green card.

But she's referring to the actual EAD card. They've never applied for one, so there is nothing to renew.

EAD stands for Employment Authorization Document, a stamp is not a document.

Renewal is only used when you are applying for another EAD in the same category as the one you currently hold. If your situation changes, and you become covered by another category of Title 8 CFR §274a.(12) then you are applying for a new EAD in that category (as is the case with a K1 holder going to an AoS. Any previous EAD they had as a K1 holder was under category (a)(6) and now as an AoS applicant it's under [c][9], so it's a new application. You're not renewing your (a)(6) EAD).

And in terms of a stamp, the stamp is placed on the I-94. That makes the I-94 a document proving employment authorization, or an EAD, as well as serving as the arrival and departure record. Not all EADs are cards.

SOO BOTTOM LINE I should apply for a new EAD regardless of the fact that he got an ead that expired on JUly 28th?

Thanks

Yes. Apply for a new one rather than trying to renew the existing one.
