I-765 Ead Online Application Guide

[HowMuchLonger]

. I can’t believe it happened to me but… I did the EAD renewal online two days ago; following the great instructions here I immediately prepared and mailed the supporting documentation package and called the 800-number to get the picture/fingerprint taken this morning. While I was at the ASC, they noticed that my name and last-name were reversed –i.e., I made this mistake in the web form. They suggested to wait for the EAD card to arrive with the mistake and then call and report the problem. Hmmm. When I came home I called the 800 number and they were clueless too – i.e., they didn’t offer a way to fix the problem. Any comments or suggestions? Thanks much.

I have applied for 140 and 485 concurrently. As I understand from this forum, these days California service center does not issue the EAD until 140 is approved.

My question is can I change my job as soon as I get the EAD, or do I have to wait for a certain period of time? Also, is the EAD issued as soon as the 140 gets approved, or is there a delay involved?

Sorry to hear your case .... I personally do not know how to reslove your issue; Please post your question as a seperate new thread, may be someone can guide you.
I will add this as an IMPORTANT check point i.e make sure the Date of Birth, A# , First Name / Family Name are correct , before the ONLINE Application is SUBMITTED.
But one lesson here is learnt that if one can make a mistake in their OWN application , then the guys at INS who enter "DATA" into the computer for the hundreds of "PAPER EAD " Application every day will surely make some mistakes.

This ironically reinforces the case to file the Online EAD.

I am sorry if you are offended . but this is not to taunt you but to help guide those who will E-File in future.

Hi - no offense taken... I also agree that it is a good idea to add the "checkpoint." I started the new thread per youir suggestion. I've been thinking that ig I get the card with the error perhaps it isn't a big deal as it has a picture, ect.

Hi All,

Just a reminder that you should not trust your PC as a relaible place to store the EAD pdf files. (You never know when these may crash ......)

The best solution is to ZIP the pdf files and mail them to one of your "Internet" Email accounts e.g yahoo or hotmail.

That way you can always access them wherever through the WWW and it will always act as a backup ...just in case the un-thinkable happens.

Ofcourse once you get the receipt ..it is another backup plan.

But anyway just in case.......

Goodluck to all.

I did n't send DL copies with renewal of EAD application. How bad is that?? Shud i expect any RFE based on that??

In the instructions sheet of 765 form there wasn't anything about DL to be attached with form.

Any input is appreciated.

On 12/17/2003, I E-filing my renew case with "NO" anwser to the question “Have you ever before applied for employment Authorization form BCIS? I thought "renew" means for the same EAD.
Accoding the receive letter, I did not send any supporting docs. Should I send the supporting docs with different anwser for this questio?

How long time will it take for E-filing case? my EAD will expired on 03/04/04.

Thanks

Hey amcom

For your info, I applied for renewal of EAD online and it is mentioned on the receipt :
"DO NOT send photos or copies of identification unless requested to do so"

This means that you do not need to send your DL copies anyway!

The list of documents that are listed in this thread are based on various experiences of people form different Service centers.

Please use your best judgement ! (in regards to what to send)

eb2_I485_RD0901,
Thank your for your great Guide!

I have some questions,
"Copy of I-485 petition" -- Is it "Copy of I485 Receipt Notice"?

"Copy of I-140 Approval Petition" -- My case hasn't been
approved yet. Can I use "Copy of I140 Receipt Notice" instead?

If it's my first time to apply an EAD, what else should I add into?

[eb2_I485_RD0901]

ytkm,

Copy of I-485 petition" -- Is it "Copy of I485 Receipt Notice"?
==> YES

"Copy of I-140 Approval Petition" -- My case hasn't been
approved yet. Can I use "Copy of I140 Receipt Notice" instead?
==>YES

It looks like you did not apply for the EAD when you filled your "concurrent" I485/I140; There should be no problem ; just send these receipts.

Regards.

My I-140, I-485 and my husband's I-485,I-765 receipts have a same number "Axx xxx xxx" under APPLICANT(I485)/BENEFICIARY(I140).
Is it A#?

I didn't apply EAD when we filed I-140 and I-485.
My husband's A# on his EAD is "A0xx-xxx-xxx". Last
eight digits are same as the number on the above receipts. We are confused. Can somebody help us out?
