Renewal of EAD Card

[Lenny&Sanna 114]

So we are still waiting on our I-485 application to be approved from a K-1 and it has been a year now at the National Benefits Center and there is apparently a backlog according to our recent case inquiry. Our EAD card expires at the end of March 29th this year, how soon in advance should we put in for renewing this card as it does not advise you on their instructions. Also there is no filing fee on this since we are still waiting on her I-485 correct? Also do we still need to submit 2 new photographs etc for a renewal?

You should file for renewal EAD and AP documents 120 days before your current documents will expire, so you should have filed in December. There's no guarantee you'll now receive the replacements before your current documents expire.

Complete new I-131 and I-765 forms (on the I-765 check "renewal of my permission to accept employment"), a copy of the front and back of your current EAD/AP, a copy of your I-485 NOA, and four passport photographs (two for each form). Send the whole package to the Chicago Lockbox. No fee is required.
