Automatic EAD extension of 180 days retroactive?

[us_immig]

Hi,

Is the new rule from Jan 17th 2017 retroactive? In other words, we have applied EAD (i-765) before expiry and before Jan 17th of course. In the same category based on pending i-485 employment application. 

1. Can I assume that we shall get automatic extension of EAD after expiry which is in January 2017 after January 17th. Thanks

 

2. Would I just show expired EAD and i- 797c receipt of notice for i9 for employer?

Thanks

It is not retroactive.
