Wishing everyone in the forums are safe and doing well in their visa journey.

 

My wife's EAD card expires in January 2021. We filed our AOS back in August 2020. Currently, we are just waiting for the interview for the conditional "green card". I do not know when that will be as each case is different. I read articles in the forums that it takes less than a year after filing and others are waiting for more than a year. 

 

I hope we get interview by August or September, four or five months before her current EAD card expires. However, if we don't get an interview appointment by September, when should we start the process of applying for another EAD card? She has a great job now and we don't want her to lose it if we don't get her green card by January. We don't want to wait the last minute to apply as it took 5 months to get the first EAD card after filing.

 

Any insights or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Have anyone here applied for a renewal of EAD card?

Apply for renewal roughly 6 months (180 days) before expiration day. My renewal took only a month. Its a quick process but gotta do it on time.

You can apply 180 days before the expiration date. With San Francisco taking 13.5 to 25.5 months you probably should do that.

Yes. thank you for the replies. I was not looking forward to pay $495 again. I think I will re-apply in August if I don't get an interview appointment letter by then.

Thank you. Do I need to resubmit all the backups of the original I-765?

Those were the requirements for AOS not EAD. Look up the what you need to include on i765 instructions and you'll be surprised.
