Applying for EAD (C9 - adjustment of status) renewal. Please check my work

[agualimpia 1]

Hello guys,

 

Thank you for your reading and for any help.

 

We have a pending I-485 family-based adjustment of status application (fee has been paid).
 

The current EAD expires in September (less than 6 months from now, now).

The current EAD receipt number starts with MSC. My wife's age is 36.
 

Please help me confirm that we're sending USCIS the following in a paper-based application:

1. A filled out I-765 (Paper based due to category)
2. A copy of the pending I-485 receipt notice
3. Front and back copy of current EAD
4. Is this the correct lockbox to send it too?
   (Physical address: NY, Mailing address: FL) We live in an apartment complex and might move so and we rather send the card to our home in FL where we have family.

5. According to USCIS's fee calculator, it's saying that we don't have to pay a fee (fee is 0). Is this correct?
   
    

Please let us know if the above is correct. We want to feel more confident that we have read the instructions correctly. A paper application, sent to the above address, with no fee.

You don't have to pay BUT why the need to renew it 6 months early???

Hello Timona,

 

Thank you for your reply!

 

As far as your question, USCIS says that one can submit the renewal application within 6 months of the current expiration date. 

We are doing it early because as far as we know just because we submit the application, doesn't mean that we will be getting a card right away.
