Advanced Parole and EAD Renewal

[Peter Davis 1]

Hi all,

 

1) Firstly, I am currently waiting for my AOS interview. I have my EAD card in hand but not my AP. I unwisely never applied for my AP
Long story short, I now would like to visit home later this year (assuming I don't hear back with an AOS interview date before then).

How does this work exactly? Will I be issued a seperate AP card along with my EAD card? -- I was under the impression that typically the EAD / AP are applied at the same time and thus are combined onto the one card? Has anyone experienced a similar situation where they have applied for the EAD and AP cards at different times?

 

2) Secondly, I recently sent in an application to renew my I-765 EAD. I received this receipt in the mail (see image) and my eligibility category is C09. I want to confirm that this means I am eligible for the 180 day extension provided I don't receive the EAD renewal before my current card expires. If anyone has received the same message and can confirm whether I am / am not eligible for the 180 day extension that would be greatly appreciated!

 

Thank you!!

1. You will receive a seperate AP document.

2. As a previous K1, your EAD filing category is C9. Yes. You are eligible.
