I was a tad dismayed to get my EAD card in the mail today to find that it expired on Jan. 9/2007... that's not even 10 months!

So I have to apply AGAIN in about 4 months to insure that I get my renewal card by next January??? (This card took about 5 months from the sending of the form to the arrival of the card.)

Also... is the procedure for the renewal exactly the same as for a first time card? We have to send in the exact same information and fill out the exact same form? I was shocked to see that there is no information whatsoever about the procedure for renewal with my card.

If you have already applied for AOS and have an interview date for the AOS they will take the EAD card from you at that time.You will no longer need an EAD once you have the "green card". Sorry do not have an answer for you about renewal

Wow... just when I think I have this thing all figured out I learn something new.

My AOS is still pending... I haven't got an interview date but they took my prints and photo at the same appointment as my EAD biometrics. So... let me get this clear... when I go for my AOS they will take my EAD card and I will get an AOS card (green card) in its place? So I won't have to be renewing TWO cards at years' end? And once I have the AOS card I will be good for two years until I am able to go apply for citizenship status? Or will I be re-filing and re-paying fees again in the meantime?

If you have not got your interview date 3 months before your EAD runs out you will need to file the same form again and yes pay the fees all over again..

If you are approved at interview they will take your EAD as you will no longer need it...

If you have been married for less than 2 years at the time of the interview you will be given a conditional Greencard...

You will have to file for removing the conditions 1 year and 9 months after the date you were approved and pay the fees...

You will then be issued a 10 year Greencard..

If you want to become a citizen you can apply 3 months before the 3rd anniversary of the date you were approved for conditional Greencard and of course pay the fees....

Hope this clears things up for you....

My EAD card wasn't taken after my AOS interview, as my approval was deferred until some paperwork was received (from TSC). So I keep mine locked up as a souvenir. :yes:

This is only correct if you are married to a US citizen.Other wise the time frame would be 5 years.Yes I know if you are not married to a US citizen why would you be on this forum.

Anyone know if you have to go get your picture/fingerprints redone for the renewal EAD? Or do they just use what's on file from the year before?

Thanks,

Melissa

You will need to make another biometrics for renewal.
