Renewal of EAD Card & Green Card Interview

[Gappy 0]

Hello I have not been given an interview date for the adjustment of status and I am using my EAD Card for work. To be safe since my card expire in a couple of months I would like to apply for EAD(employment authorization card) CARD RENEWAL. Since I am waiting to issued an interview and if I am apply for a renewal ead card will I be eligible for the waiver fee and avoid paying 410$. Or will I have to pay the 410 to renew my ead card?

 

Thank you

As long as it expires within 180 days you can renew; https://www.uscis.gov/greencard/employment-authorization-document:

Renewal EAD

If you are still eligible for employment authorization but your EAD will be expiring or has expired, you should file for a renewal EAD by submitting a new Form I-765 and filing fee (if required), unless a fee waiver is requested and approved. Generally, you should not file for a renewal EAD more than 180 days before your original EAD expires

Whether or not you already have Advance Parole, I still recommend filing I-131 together with the I-765. The EAD/AP combo card is FREE; https://www.uscis.gov/news/questions-and-answers/uscis-issue-employment-authorization-and-advance-parole-card-adjustment-status-applicants-questions-and-answers:

Q5. How much does this card cost?

A5. If you submitted an application for adjustment of status on or after July 30, 2007 (or on or after August 18, 2007, for employment-based cases), you will pay only one fee to file Form I-485, Form I-765 and Form I-131. The fee for Form I-485 is <outdated cost>, and there is no separate fee for Forms I-765 and I-131 associated with a Form I-485. For those cases that were filed under the old fee structure, the costs for this card will equal the combined costs of filing Forms I-131 and I-765, which is a total of <outdated cost>.
