EAD Combo Card Renewal pending AOS - Immigration Status

[BiAdam 21]

Hello!

 

I'm filling the forms for EAD & AP renewal.

 

I'm not sure what to say in Form I-765 Part 2: Information About Your Last Arrival in the United States fields 24 and 25.

 

24. Immigration Status at Your Last Arrival (for example,  B-2 visitor, F-1 student, or no status)

25. Your Current Immigration Status or Category (for example, B-2 visitor, F-1 student, parolee, deferred action, or no status or category)

 

I received my EAD combo card last summer, and I had an oversees trip in September. I was paroled at the airport when I came back.

Also upon my last arrival I wasn't given any new I-94. In Part 2,  21.a should I write down my first and only I-94 record number?

And I just realized that my EAD&AP combo card expires on June 3rd. As today, it has less than 120 days left. In this case did I lose my chances to extend it? Should I apply for a new card all over again? Please let me know, I'm really nervous now

No, it's not late. Still submit I-765 and I-131.

Did you check online recently? https://i94.cbp.dhs.gov/I94/#/recent-search It should say "DA" for most recent entry.

Thank you so much for this answer. I didn't know that I could get a recent I-94. I just checked and got the most recent one.

 

I realized that I didn't share that I arrived with K1 visa. Would that change anything in your answers related to the immigration status?

expires on June 3rd.

There is plenty of time to get the new I-765 Receipt notice. The EAD part of your card will automatically be extended by 180 days: https://www.uscis.gov/i-9-central/form-i-9-resources/handbook-for-employers-m-274/handbook-for-employers-m-274/40-completing-section-2-of-form-i-9/44-automatic-extensions-of-employment-authorization-documents-eads-in-certain-circumstances

The extension begins on the date the EAD expires and continues for up to 180 days, unless USCIS denies the renewal application. An automatic EAD extension depends on these requirements:

• Employees must have filed an application to renew their EAD before it expires (except certain employees with Temporary Protected Status (TPS)), and the application remains pending;
• The eligibility category on the front of the EAD is the same eligibility category on the employee’s Form I-797C, Notice of Action (except employees with TPS who may have a C19/A12 combination); and
• Current EAD eligibility categories for a 180-day automatic extension are A03, A05, A07, A08, A10, C08, C09, C10, C16, C20, C22, C24, C31, and A12 or C19.  The eligible categories are published on the USCIS Automatic EAD Extension page. Some category codes on the EAD may include the letter ‘P’ such as C09P. Employers should disregard the letter ‘P’ when comparing the category code on the EAD with the category code on the receipt notice.

An EAD that appears to be expired is automatically extended when the employee also presents a Form I-797C that shows a timely filed EAD renewal application. The EAD and Form I-797C must have the same qualifying eligibility category as that on the expired EAD.

 

The AP part of your card is NOT automatically extended. Before receiving the new card don't leave the US after your current card expires.
