EAD Valid During Processing?

[Isabella_NZ 54]

Hi everyone,

 

So my EAD runs out December 28th 2018 and I have already submitted documentation to USCIS to renew it however my work are stating if I cannot provide them with the new EAD card by December 28th then they will have to terminate my employment.

 

I'm not hopeful I will get the card before that date. Is there anything I can do?

From the USCIS processing times website it is taking approximately 4-6 months for EADs. I dont think there is anything you can do, you could wait until mid of november and open a case with them but I dont think it will change much. In the other hand lets hope for your Green Card interview to come that way you wouldnt need EAD anymore.

I thought you automatically get an extension letter for ead? Because of long wait time. 

 

You might want to check in that

The existing EAD should be automatically renewed for 180 days: https://www.uscis.gov/working-united-states/automatic-employment-authorization-document-ead-extension

 

You can also request an expedite based on the job.

Any ideas when I might get this renewal letter? My work are hassling me for something now.. 

 

I have made an infopass appointment.

Likely in the coming weeks or so, if you recently filed.

Hassling or not, it would be illegal for them to terminate employment prior to the date your work authorization ends, or for making them wait. I understand it's more of a work environment issue (nobody wants to make HR wait when they're being anxious!), but I did just want to note that they are not permitted to take action beforehand.

They filed my case as received on July 19th and since then have just received the NOA

Does the NOA1 state that it extends the validity of the card?

Oh I just re-read the first NOA and it does state if all the above conditions are met then this notice automatically extends the validity of your EAD for up to 180 days from the expiration date. 

 

Phew, ok, well that's good. I totally missed that when I first got the letter
