Renewing Work EAD and AP doc

[freecake 0]

Our I-485 has been pending most the year, and we are coming up to the time that we need to renew my hubby's work EAD card (I-765) and hopefully his Advance Parole doc (I-131).

I am looking at the instructions for both, and it appears to me that we dont have to pay anything for the renewals since we have already paid the new fee structure (that started in July 2007). Is this correct??? can i just fill the forms and include the proof that i filed I-485 (and passport photos, copies of card, I-94...)????

Also, I-765 has the question "Current Immigration status".. would i say "Adjustment Applicant"?

And it asks the office and date we applied at. Is that just "Chicago" for the lock box and what date do we use? we were transferred to CA but we didnt originally file there...

Yes you just file the forms like you did the first time and include a copy of the NOA1 for his AOS. There is no fee payable. Have you been to your local office to find out why you are still waiting for an interview? I would be making an infopass appointment at my local office before I filed for renewal EAD and AP.

Well, our file got transferred to CA office in the end of March, which means we probably wont have an interview. But we haven't received any info since then.

If you have not heard anything since march 2008 then you need to go and find out what is wrong. If you were going to be approved without interview it would have been done months ago. Never seen anyone who was approved without interview after a transfer to CSC having to wait more than 3 months for that approval or transfer back to your local office for interview.

I would go and check up on your case before you do anything else.

We called and they told us we were still in the processing time and should hear something within the next 1-2 months. They couldnt even file a claim so we could make an infopass appointment.

Anywaysss

we sent out the EAD renewal and will send the travel doc application this week.

wait, wait.

Good luck - just wanted to let you know that when our file was transferred to California, we didn't receive our AOS approval until 8 months later - without an interview. So, while it is rare, it does happen. I had to renew my EAD and my AP as well.

Thanks Kathryn,

well it appears they got on our case after we called, cuz we got an RFE to go get a full medical (opposed to allowing the supplement sheet as per instructions). So now we are making that appointment. hopefully all goes well and we get approval once thats sent!!!
