Hi gimygirl...well i came USA on k3 and i am in the process of getting EAD. i just wanna know when does this expire while ur AOS is still pending.

your approved EAD should be valid for 1 yr ... if you have not rec'd your GC at that point, you will need to file (and pay) for an EAD renewal!

K-3 beneficiaries are given 2 years EAD. No need to renew the EAD after 1 year like the K-1.

My husband's EAD expires the same date as his K-3 visa- in February 2008.

My wife is on a K-3 visa, and her EAD expires one year from the date it was issued and not her K-3 visa expiration date.

The trick to getting a longer EAD is to file for EAD before you file for AOS. I filed for the EAD as soon as I arrived in the US. I'm going to do AOS later when my marriage reaches the two-years mark so I don't have to remove conditions. My EAD expires two years from my initial US entry which is in May, 2008.

Since you filed for EAD at the same time as AOS, you're filing as a "pending adjustment of status". So you're given a one-year EAD just like the K-1 beneficiaries.

It's a dumb distinction but it's one of a few advantages a K-3 has over a K-1.

Okay. Thanks. I wish I knew that ahead of time. Hopefully, my wife will get her greencard before her EAD expires.
