Permanent resident card vs. employment auth. card.

[Martin and Tricia 0]

I have one of those weird days, where I get confused. So have one (maybe stupid) question.

I have my permanent resident card and employment auth card. Did the permanent resident card overrule the employment card, so I only need to renew the permanent resident card from now on or do i need to renew both ?

Your EAD is essentially invalid now that you have your Permanent Resident status. You only need your Permanent Resident card to get a job, enter the country, etc. and you should only worry about renewing your Permanent Resident card. The EAD is a stop gap measure to allow you to work while your Adjustment of Status is being adjudicated. Now that you've completed the AOS your green card supersedes your EAD.

The EAD is invalid now. The permanent resident card is all you need for working and re-entering the US when traveling. You won't be renewing your 2 year conditional green card though. You will need to file to remove conditions 90 days before your card expires. You will then be granted a 10 year green card when approved. http://www.visajourney.com/content/751guide
