Any new EADs?

kppr12 said:
I filed for 3rd EAD/AP renewal (paper based) on 05/31/2006 and all got approved on 06/13/2006, in < 2 weeks. However, I have a question regarding the EAD dates;

The dates on my current EAD are as shown;

Card Valid From: 08/29/05
Expires: 08/28/06

And the dates on the new EAD are as below;

Card Valid From: 08/30/06
Expires: 08/29/07

Question: As can be seen from the expiry date of the current card (08/28/06) and the "Valid From" (08/30/06) on the new card there is a gap of
2 days. Does this mean I cannot work on 08/28/06 and 08/29/06 ?

I would appreciate a response from someone who knows this.

Thanks

Hi Kppr12,
why 2 day gap, your existing EAD is valid until 8/28/06 and new
EAD valid from 8/30/06. So only one day is missing i.e 8/29/06. To be safe, if I were you, I will take off that day. That is only my view. Some one expeienced can answer this question or, you can call USCIS and see what the serverice center guys say.

Only one thing I see positive is USCIS is stared to approve EAD's with proper dates (at least they are attempting to ..). By the way, did you do mention anything special in you cover letter? to approve you new EAD from 8/30/06?

thanks you,

dcmetro22042 and ca98 - Thanks to both of you for replying.

dcmetro22042 - Me..lucky..? Let's not go there :). To answer your question, I applied at VSC, where my I485 is pending.

ca98 - The reason I said 2 days gap is because on the current EAD, it says "Expires:" on August 28 and not "Valid Until", which I took to mean that I can only work until August 27 and then a gap of 2 days and can resume work on August 30, as per the new "Valid From" date. Please correct me if I interpreted this wrong. I would call USCIS and see what they say. Worst case, I will take these days off (unpaid). Also, I did not put anything special in my cover letter regarding the starting date. They just approved it based on the expiry date of the current card, not sure why they left a gap of 2 days though.

Thanks again guys for your inputs.
 
Well, not so lucky....Today I received the approved AP in mail and the validity of it is one year from the day they approved it (June 15) and is valid until June 14, 2007 as opposed to my current one, which expires on August 28, 2006. A loss of 2.5 Months..

dcmetro22042 - :)

Oh well....at least I have them approved.
 
yes :) I am surprised that they not approve after August for you. One person got it approved after the expiration date of current EAD. Inconsistencies with USCIS continues. Lets see what mine says. Mine is with NSC.
 
Any New EAD's From VSC???

I applied for a replacement card on April 7th.........Still waiting.......pls share any information on recent approvals from VSC.
 
My second EAD was approved by TSC on 8th of this month and I have not received the card till today. Is it safe to continue the job with the online approval notice. I will get an infopass at the local ASC after 30 days to check the status. What are my options if the card is lost in the mail. Thanks and I appreciate your help.
 
My 3rd EAD was approved on June 22nd TSC and waiting for Card to be recieved in the mail.On June 19th I got email saying card was ordered and on 22nd i got email for approval. Lud changed on June 23rd,I am thinking they might have posted on that day.Last month my AP Got approved and i recieved in 3 days.
 
I just talk to customer service a while ago and she said that if i don't get the card within 30 days then i need to call after 30 days of approval date. Then they will submit a non delievrable request to USCIS and i should get the new card again. I asked her like do i need to file again,she said no you don't have to pay again as your card is approved.
I am not sure if that is correct.
Can anybody tell me if they had gone through this process.
 
Chanchal06,
Did you recieve your card? When is your current EAD Expiring? Let me know when you call customer service after 30 days.
What options you are thinking right now? Did you take any attorney advice.
