Hi,

I am on L2 visa with a valid work permit (EAD). My L2 and my husband's L1 visa are expiring in Dec 2008(needs renewal). I need to renew my EAD by July 2008.

1. Will my EAD be renewed by USCIS when my L2 is valid only till December 2008?

2. If yes, till what date will my EAD be extended.
i. For another 2 years (as it happens with others)
OR
ii. For another 6 months (since my L2 is valid till December 2008)

3. How early should I apply for EAD renewal? I have got 2 different information-
a. 3 months before expiry of my current EAD
OR
b. 6 months before expiry of my current EAD

4. Is E-filing safe to renew my EAD?

5. If I go for E-filing, should I go for Biometrics?

6. Will the E-filing + Biometrics procedure take more time than regular EAD renewal process?

7. If I go for E-filing, how long will it take for the entire process?

8. What is the general processing time for renewal of EAD (not through E-filing)?



Thanks in advance.

Thanks & Regards,
Ashwini
