How to renew EAD/AP card combo while on AOS?

[SunflowerRoses 1]

Hey guys,

So my EAD/AP card combo is expiring in Dec, and I'm trying to search how to do it. From a website it says that I can only file within 180 of it expiring, and that it only grants a 180 day extension.

I'm currently on AOS and my field office is expected to take a very long time to schedule an interview to get a GC, so I want to know whether the 180 day extension is true because it doesn't seem very long at all. 

 

I'm also confused as to which specific forms I need to get both an extension EAD and AP? Is it two separate forms that I just send in as one?

And from my understandings, since I filed for AOS, I do not need to pay as long as I submit the AOS notice and copy of current EAD and AP – is that correct?

Lastly, do they just send in a new card with both combo'ed on like my current card?

 

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks

You will send the same forms you sent the first time. You can apply for renewal as soon as 180 days before it expires. The EAD receipt letter will extend your EAD for 180 days after expiration date. No extension for AP.

 

Renewals are taking around 2 months if they reuse your biometrics. File ASAP.
