Hi EADAP485,
My EAD/AP expire in September. I have just filed a renewal with VSC. Does anyone know how much time RENEWALS are taking?
----As far as EAD is concerned, You have enough time. I myself got it recently in less than 4 weeks and few of my friends received it in the similar timespan too(for one of them, it took 5 weeks). You should be getting your EAD before the end of August.As you know there are exceptions if the bad time is running but these days EAD's in VSC are not taking much time.So,let's hope for the best and I wish you good luck!! AP may take another 1-2 weeks after you receive ur EAD but AP is a different thing and let's not worry abt it.
Can I work if my original EAD runs out and before I receive the new one? If I can’t work can I stay in the country in that case?
--If you do not have a valid H1 or valid EAD, I do not think one is eligible to work here.You may want to double check this.Please check with an attorney or go through other comments in the forum. But, I am almost positive that you will get it before september.As you might be aware, it's always better to get an expert opinion to avoid panic situations.
Good luck
