ashek Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 Hi I am on L2 and have EAD that would be due for renewal soon. following is my status Spouse's L1A Visa expiry - April 09, 2015 I94 expiry - April 09, 2015 My L2 Visa Expiry - April 09, 2015 My I94 expiry - April 09, 2015 My EAD expiry - April 09, 2015 Everything expires on same day, ie April 09, 2015. I read on USCIS site that I need to apply for renewal 90 days before expiry, ie 09 Jan 2015. My Supouse's company would file for his L1A and my L2 extension in Jan so we are expecting the receipt for same by Feb 2015. What I would like to know (which I did not find in forums easily) is about the documents that would be required for my EAD renewal... Would they renew the EAD on the basis of the L1 extension receipt or would they specifically need an approved petition (which we would get after 240 days of filing the extension as in most cases) if not, then is there any other possibility to get the EAD renewal done... Thanks in advance Link to comment
jairichi Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 All you would need is L2 extension approval notice with I94 to apply for EAD renewal. Your spouse's employer can apply for L1 extension not more than 6 months of expiry which means they can apply now. Link to comment
ashek Posted November 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 Thanks for the reply. but thats the problem, my spouse's employer would not agree to file for his L1 and my L2 extension now. They have agreed to file in Jan 2015. so would my EAD get renewed just on the basis of L2/L1 extension receipt coz for extension to be approved, it might take upto 240 days... Link to comment

I doubt your EAD will be approved with receipt notice. Ask employer to apply for L1 extension renewal on PP. Your spouse can pay PP fee. Link to comment

ksribhas Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 No. When you file for an extension of the L1 visa, you can file an EAD application /renewal with it. The I-539 form can be filed along with I-765 . Once your L2 gets renewed, your EAD will be adjudicated. You do not need to wait for the L2 approval to file the EAD renewal. Link to comment
