EAD Expired - Renew From India ?

[dude_2012]

Hi,

Appreciate if someone reply and let me understand my next step.

I left the job and moved back to India in 2011, at that time, I had AP and EAD valid till Jun 2012.

I am thinking of keeping my option open, even though I do not have immediate plan to return to US

1. Can I now continue renewing EAD and AP?
   
2. My EAD is expired, can this be renew now staying outside US?

If you stayed past the expiration date of the AP, your I-485 is gone.

If your old US employer is still willing to hire you, you could go for Consular Processing when the PD becomes current. You'd need to file an I-824 first, though.
