EAD renewal

[Nessa 23]

Ok. I am still waiting for an answer on my AOS and I need to renew my EAD. Yes I've read the guides I'm just double checking:

1. The documentation is:

a. Form I-765

b. Fee - for renewal EAD it says that (a)(8), (a)(10), (a) (11), (c )(1), (c )(4) or (c )(7) don't pay a fee, since I'm (c )(9) I have to send a check for $ 340.00, correct?

c. copy form I-94 front and back

d. copy last EAD document (front and back)

e. 2 photographs (identical, color, etc etc)

2. Question 15 - Current Immigration Status - K1 visa holder?

3. Question 16. Is it (c )(9)?

4. I have to send the documentation to:

USCIS

P.O. Box 805887

Chicago, IL 60680-4120, correct?

Forum search is not working, btw.

Thanks

Yes you pay $340 to renew, because you filed for AOS before July 30.

2) has not changed Still K-1

3) Correct (c )(9 ) I-485 pending.

Now for 2 dumb questions:

1. will I need another biometrics appointment?

2. is e-filing faster than mail? and do I still have to send pictures and docs if I e-file?

(1) Yes, you'll have to have your biometrics taken again.

(2) I think that e-filing is quicker in that you get a receipt date faster and can pay for it online with a credit card, but I found the e-file form confusing. It may have been updated since I had a look at it a couple of months ago. I started a thread about my confusion: Attempting to e-file for EAD renewal. Also, you still have to submit passport photos and other paperwork through the mail, so I thought it was easier just to file the paper forms. I'm sure other people will have a different opinion, though.

those are my thoughts on it, if I still have to mail them stuff I'll just mail them everything.

Thanks!!

Checklist, I have everything together I think:

* 1 copy (1 page) Form I-765

* 2 passport style pics (do I have to type my name on the back of them and or date? )

* copy front and back old EAD

* copy front and back I-94

* check $ 340.00 ( do I have to write on the check USCIS or something? I'm really new when it comes to american finances)

and I mail to:

USCIS

P.O. Box 805887

Chicago, IL 60680-4120

* check $ 340.00 ( do I have to write on the check USCIS or something? I'm really new when it comes to american finances)

The check needs to be made out to US Department of Homeland Security

verbiage from the filing instructions:

NOTE: Please spell out U.S. Department of Homeland Security; do not use the initials "USDHS" or "DHS."
