Hi, what is your field office? When was the last time you filled out an SR?

Here is the processing time line

Renewal is free BTW so you can just send it in and with the NOA you get an automatic 180 day extension to your work permit.

Hi can anyone give me the link to where I can download the forms filled out n send them in.thank you

Here is the link for the work permit form and instructions 

https://www.uscis.gov/i-765

 

Are you also applying for advance parole? If yes add this

https://www.uscis.gov/i-131

 

Add copies of the previous approvals for the I-765 (& I-131) and also a copy of your I-485 NOA. This way you won't have to pay a fee. 

 

Add a total of 4 photographs and a copy of front & back of your current EAD card. 

 

If you do it yourself, read and re-read the instructions. 

 

I also included a cover letter with my packet.

@A&H2018 ,when I called USCIS,I was told they are preparing my interview date.Does it mean it would take up to a year to get my interview date?.thank you

[A&H2018 148]

Earlier this year they changed timelines and some nyc offices got pushed to 2 years. They feared too many Asylum and Employment interviews. Update this past weekend its back to around 16 months as they figured out how to manage work load. So truly you should get it soon...prolly within 6 months.
