I know that I had to pay each time I renewed my EAD while waiting for my AOS to be approved. That was before the re-configuration of the fee change, though, so I don't know if it is still the case. Regardless, there must be information with the application for an EAD that gives this information. You might want to check there first.

Ok - found the information (figured it was just as easy for me to look it up :-) - looks like you don't need to pay for a renewal if you filed for the I-485 after the price increases last year, but you do if you filed before that.

Note on Filing Fee:

If you are in one of the categories noted below, no fee is required.

No fee is required if filing for an initial EAD under one of these categories:

* Refugee, asylee or paroled as a refugee;

* N-8 or N-9 Nonimmigrant;

* Citizen of Micronesia, Marshall Islands, or Palau;

* Granted Withholding of Deportation;

* Deferred Enforced Departure;

* Dependent of certain foreign government or international organization personnel; or,

* Applicant for asylum (applicant filing under special ABC procedures must pay the fee however).

No fee is required if filing for a renewal EAD under any of these categories:

*

Citizen of Micronesia, Marshall Islands, or Palau;

*

Granted Withholding of Deportation;

*

Deferred Enforced Departure; or,

*

Dependent of certain foreign government or international organization personnel.

If you are filing for a replacement EAD, and you are a dependent of certain foreign government or international organization personnel, no fee is required to file this form.

If you are filing this application concurrently with Form I-485, Application for Permanent Residence, no fee is required to file this form. As of 07/30/07, if you file your Form I-765 separately, you must also submit a copy of your Form I-797C, Notice of Action, as a receipt of evidence for the filing of your I-485.

If you are filing for an extension of your Employment Authorization and your Form I-485, Application for Permanent Residence, was filed before July 30, 2007, then you must pay the $340 filing fee."

how long should i wait before applying EAD Extension?

[Kathryn41 3,205]

I would file for the extension no later than 90 days/3 months prior to the EAD's expiry. It generally takes about 90 days to process so you may wish to allow yourself some leeway by filing even earlier than that.

Thank U So much:)

I-765 right? Was optional and recall about 700 bucks extra for my wife and daughter. Have these EAD cards on my computer, dated 01/18/2005 and expired on 01/17/2006, but their green cards were issued on 06/27/2005 so didn't feel I got my money's worth, LOL.

Is the USCIS taking a lot longer now with I-765's?

"If you are filing this application concurrently with Form I-485, Application for Permanent Residence, no fee is required to file this form. As of 07/30/07"? Hmmm, we had to pay extra for the I-765 as we filed with the I-485, but the biometrics included both the EAD and the green cards.
