Question About EAD Expiring??

[Brazil/US2018 43]

Hello, 

 

I live in DC and the green card process here is one of the those places that take over 12 months to even be contacted for the interview. So with all of this COVID-19 stuff, I am sure our interview will probably be pushed back to past when my husband's EAD will expire. Problem is, he is just now stating a new job! Does anyone know what we would do in this instance? Do we just renew the EAD? Is there such thing? Don't want him to have to quit because of all of this.

 

Just a woman trying to do the right thing here...so stressful.

Of course there is such a thing.  Renewal window begins 180 days before expiration

File the renewal before the exisitng EAD expires. This will grant an automatic 180 day extension.

No fee required.
