amitshar2 0 Report post Posted April 4, 2011 I applied for my EAD renewal on 03/24 at Nebraska. My current EAD expires in 06/09....Does anyone has any idea how much time it is taking now a days for renewal? In case, I do not receive my EAD by 06/09, Is it legal to work ? I heard various opinions saying you can work till 180 days past the expiry..Can some one please confirm? I also heard that you will have to be on leave of absence (without pay) but still continue to be employed? Please advise what is a better option Share this post Link to post
Attorney_19 0 Report post Posted April 6, 2011 It typically takes up to 90 days to get the EAD renewal approved. Therefore it is important to file the I-765 application to renew employment authorization in a timely manner. The earliest one can file the I-765 application is 120 days before the current EAD expires. Share this post Link to post
Attorney_19 0 Report post Posted April 6, 2011 For people with pending I-485/AOS: if the current EAD expires, and the I-765 application to renew employment authorization is still pending, then one is NOT authorized to work on the EAD. Basically, in order for an I-485 adjustment of status (AOS) applicant to work on EAD, the EAD must be approved. Share this post Link to post

sidharth07 0 Report post Posted May 8, 2011 Hi Attorney 19 Thanks a lot. This help. Suppose the EAD is approved but the cards have not yet arrived,as the cards are getting delayed, in such scenario, it is legal to work? or I can work only once I have EAD cards in my hand Appreciate your reply Thanks Sidharth Originally posted by Murthy Law Firm Attorney 19: For people with pending I-485/AOS: if the current EAD expires, and the I-765 application to renew employment authorization is still pending, then one is NOT authorized to work on the EAD.
