Hi everyone,

 

I would please like your help with a couple of questions. 

1- I have a pending Adjustment of Status and need to renew EAD. Do I  pay the filing fee of $410 upon renewal?

2- Where do I send the EAD Renewal application to as I live in Texas. Chicago or Dallas Lockbox?

 

Thank you for your time and swift responses. 

 

Lade.

Hi Lade,

For EAD renewal: 

 


1. Fill out and sign form I-765. Link
2. Two RECENT passport color photos with A-Number written on the back of them
3. I 765 Approval Notice and Receipts 
4. Photocopy of 485 receipt (i-797) 
5. Form G1145 for (email/sms) notification during the application process (optional)
6. Photocopy of Current EAD/AP combo card (front and back)
7. Bar codes page attached to the previous EAD/AP approval (optional)
8. Copy of Marriage Certificate for dependent only (optional)
9. Front and back copy of I-94 (this is not required for people with pending I485).

Other Details: 
1. If you file your I-485 after July 30,2011 there is no additional fees (Please confirm in I-765instr.pdf)
2. Address to send: depends on where you live, see page 10 of the I-765 instructions document. 
3. http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-765instr.pdf 

For AP renewal: 

1. Fill out and sign form I-131. Link
2. Two RECENT passport photos with A-Number written on the back of them 
3. Photocopy of 485 receipt/ Approval Notice (i-797) 
4. I-485 Receipts 
5. Form G1145 for (email/sms) notification during the application process (optional)
6. Photocopy of Current EAD/AP combo card 
7. Bar codes page attached to the previous EAD/AP approval (optional)
8. Copy of Marriage Certificate for dependent only (optional)

Other Details: 
1. If you file your I-485 after July 30, 2011 there is no additional fees (Please confirm in I-131instr.pdf)

2. Address to send: depends on where you live, see page8 of the I-131 instructions document. 
3. http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-131instr.pdf 

Tip: Put EACH application in its OWN envelope and write the name, A# and form number on the outside for each applicant. Then put all of the envelopes in ONE courier package (FedEx, UPS, Express Mail) and send it to the USCIS. This way your multiple applications (if any) will not get lost/separated. 

Note: If you are applying for Combo Card, please send both the documents (I-131 (AP) & I-765 (EAD)) to I-765-EAD address.

If you do not get your EAD renewal approved in time for when your current card expires you no longer have to stop working but get an extension. Renewal is suggested at 120 or at least 90 days before expiration.

Hi everyone,

 

I know this is an old post but I have same situation as OP. So I'll just post my questions here.

 

My EAD will expire on 9/28/2018 while AOS is still pending. So I will go ahead and renew my EAD.

I have couple questions regarding the I-765 application:

 

Q15. Have you ever before applied for employment authorization from USCIS? –Yes. But do I enter Potomac Center (my very first EAD application during OPT) or National Benefit Center (where I filed AOS & EAD/AP package)

Q18. Status at Last Entry: DA (Got it from I-94). What's DA by the way?

Q19. Current Immigration Status: Adjustment of Status? Advance Parole? Parolee?

 

Thank you!

Hi Fellow Indonesian,

 

Q15:I believe the second one, because that's the latest /most recent.

Q18: DA on I-94 means “Advance Parole granted by District Office under Section 212(d)(5) of the I&N Act.”
