Replacement EAD (not renewal)

 Share

Has anyone on here filed for a REPLACEMENT EAD, and able to share their experience on the processing time?

 

Just to be clear, this is for a REPLACEMENT EAD, for one that was lost/stolen.  This is NOT for a RENEWAL.  This is NOT for one that USCIS "lost in the mail."  

 

My husband's card was lost, but expires in January so we were pretty much at the time when it's appropriate to send in the renewal.  So we filed BOTH forms, for RENEWAL (for January), and REPLACEMENT (in hopes that MAYBE they process those faster somehow, otherwise, why bother offering a replacement option!?)

 

Any thoughts or experiences that should give us hope of a replacement coming quickly?

 

Also, his was a combo card for AP as well.  The instructions for EAD said you didn't have to pay the fee for a replacement if you were pending AOS, but AP said the fee was required.  So we only files for replacement EAD, in hopes that they'll just replace the card that was lost complete with the AP status on it.  If you've been through this, how did it work for you?  Did the replacement EAD include your already-approved AP?

 

Thanks!

Does he need a replacement? If looking for a new job, yes he will need it. If he's still working at the same job they most likely won't ask to see his EAD again, so no need for a replacement.

 

AP does not require a fee if you have a pending i-485, just like with the EAD.

 

Other than that, I haven't been through the renewal or replacement process myself. I'm sure others have and maybe they'll shime in.
