Does any one know that whether BOSTON INS do walk-in renewal for EAD and AP ?

If the answer is yes, is it hard to get them ? and how early should I start to apply for renewal before EAD/AP expired in this case ?

Thank you very much for any info you can offer.
 
Yes, according to my knowledge, you can get your EAD/AP renewed at Boston INS office through walk-ins. I don't know about EAD, but for AP it's always better to go just 15 days prior to your scheduled travel date.
 
Yes they definitely do, provided your state of residece is NH or MA.

EAD will be on the same day, pay $120 (NO PERSONAL CHECKS), photos will be taken there itself. I am from NH and I went in 2.5 months before my EAD expiry, my suggestion go a couple of week or to be on the safer side a month before expiry of your current EAD. It's your decision entirely..

AP you need to take photos, I think $100 (AGAIN NO PERSONAL CHECKS) is the fee. Also I have heard that they issue APs 30 days before your intended date of travel. It might help to take your tickets with you for AP.

Good Luck Dude...

Thany you everybody to share your experience.

Few more questions about this...

1) What documents I need to bring with me for EAD/AP renewal ?

2) Can I get EAD renewal if I'm not employed at that time ?

3) Does the renewaled EAD/AP start valid from the same day that I go BOSTON INS and get approved ? For example, If the original EAD/AP expire-date is 01/31/2003, and I plan to go Boston INS for renewal on 11/01/2002, does new EAD/AP effected on 11/01/2002, or it starts on 01/31/2003 ?

4) Since they don't accept personal check, can I pay cash there ?

Again, thank you so much for any help you can offer.

Check INS website at www.ins.usdoj.gov for the exact details under forms and fees.

They don't ask for your employment proof to renew EAD and you don't volunteer information. :)

3) Does the renewaled EAD/AP start valid from the same day that I go BOSTON INS and get approved ? For example, If the original EAD/AP expire-date is 01/31/2003, and I plan to go Boston INS for renewal on 11/01/2002, does new EAD/AP effected on 11/01/2002, or it starts on 01/31/2003 ?
It will be valid from the date you do it i.e. if you do it today then your EAD will be valid from 10/29/2002 to 10/28/2003. I guess the same goes for AP too.

4) Since they don't accept personal check, can I pay cash there ?
Check INS site for Field Offices under Boston, it specifically says Money Order only, so take MO, why you want to risk it.

Again, thank you so much for any help you can offer.

Good Luck
