Apply EAD and AP a month apart?

[Niti Upadhyay]

Can I apply for EAD right now, go out of country, come back and then apply for AP? The information of when I entered the country will be different on EAD and AP. Do they make fuss about it?

Thanks,
Niti.

Are you going out of country(and coming back in) using a valid visa? Applying for EAD does not mean you have to use AP for travel. Even an approved EAD is not a status switcher. Only if you use the EAD (file I9) then you have to have an AP for entry back into USA.

I have an EAD and AP. I'm just applying for renewal of EAD and a new AP.

YOu can apply for EAD before going out of US and when your are back then apply for AP from US, you need to be in US when you apply for AP.
