AOS pending

[MEDSHE20 0]

My husband has his AOS still pending and he needs to renew his EAD in a couple of months. When we filed with the AOS as C9 AOS pending.

My question is do we need to pay again to renew the EAD and what type of documents do we need to provide for it?

Correction on this, our question should be can an A9 be renewed as a C9 on the EAD? If so do we have to pay the fee? Also, can we E-file for it as C9?

I found this paragraph under visa journey that shows you can:

Renewing your EAD (assuming you filed for AOS). You may renew your EAD when your EAD nears expiration. You must renew your EAD to be able to work until you become a Permanent Resident (or Conditional Permanent Resident) at which time your "Green Card" will be proof of eligibility to work. A suggestion before filing is to check the processing time currently for EAD's and file at a time equal to the number of days before your EAD expires. ex: if the processing time is three months then apply for a renewal three months before your EAD expires. You will file as category ©(9), "adjustment applicant". (Where to file: mail, walk-in if allowable, efile)

If you want to apply for the EAD send the I-765 forms as a NEW EAD because a renewal means it would be under the same category. Category would be C9 and no fee as long as you include the AOS NOA1.
