So my employment authorization document expires at the end of September so I need to file for renewal. I am currently within the processing time for my green card and have been waiting a year already. I am extremely confused about the fees I have to pay to renew my EAD card. Can somebody please help me?!

There's no fee. Just include a copy of your I-485's NOA1 in lieu of payment.

 

Upon successful and timely filing of the I-765, the EAD will automatically be extended for 180 days: https://www.uscis.gov/working-united-states/automatic-employment-authorization-document-ead-extension

As state, it's not a copy of the I-485, but the receipt of the I-485 (Form I-797C). This is Also Known As the I-485's NOA1.

I am super confused about this. I have filled out form I-765 but I’ve been told that I need to send it off with a receipt of my I-485, but on the I-765 instructions it says to send off with a copy of my passport, visa and I-94. Please help. I’m so confused and frustrated!
