EAD Renewal Question

Registered Users (C)
Hi,

I'm ready to renew my EAD by myself. My lawyer is charging too much!
I need to know what is the right information I need to put on the "Current Immigration Status" on the I-765 form.
I'm no longer H1-B, that was I filled out before my H1 expired. My EAD will expire in October.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
 
Moroni,

I applied 2nd EAD myself without any hassel.Go to the USCIS web site and download form and follow the instructions.I can't tell you because it changes time to time.So the best way is to follow the updated instruction

Take care
 
90 days before

Apply EAD2 fast so that it should have recpt notice date 90 days before the date of EDA1 expire. This is for emergency in case anything goes wrong, you can go to local USCIS for temporary EAD.

Its very simply
1) Fill the form
2) 2 photos
3) Check of $175
4) copy of I-485 notice
5) Colour photocopy of Passport Id page or driver license.

Whats happens to the lawyer ? Since I previously filed with lawyers help, dont I need to send some paper to exclude lawyer out the scene now?

On related note, how to exclude lawyer for I-485 RFE? Does one need to submit some paper to exclude lawyer?

Please suggest.

Thanks.

Make yourself very clear urself what do u want.


if u want to represent ur case by all urself and want USCIS to send all communication with you only then I believe u need to send a letter to TSC and asking that ur pervious att is nomore representing you all communication will only be with you,

Address and Attorney Change Notification

USCIS TSC
P.O. Box 850891
Mesquite, TX 75185-0891


You may also need to file G-28 along with this letter, and on No#4 u need to explain that u are representing ur case ur self (its my understanding , but read carefuly).

http://uscis.gov/graphics/formsfee/forms/g-28.htm


-------------------------------------


or if u want to not to use attorney only for RFE , u can send by urself, but remember u have give authorization to ur att to communicate with USCIS. and USCIS may only send the next doc(if needed) to ur attr, not you. becz they don't practice exempt situation when they have received G-28.

----------------
Or if u have new att he would file G-28 first to represent ur case,

----------------

Good Luck

It doesn't matter, if ur new att has send both EAD/AP to USCIS then ur att is represeting only EAD/AP application not ur old 485, unless you authorize him on seperate G-28 for 485. always read and ask what is it?, whenever u sign, do it open eye,

You don't need to let USCIS know about new att for EAD/AP , ur new att already would have done by submiting G-28 for EAD/AP at the time when he send EAd/AP to USCIS.

if no new G-28 for 485 representation has been submited, no action will be taken by USCIS , its mean ur old att still will be receiveng and representing ur 485.

Good Luck

Dear Friend,

I have heartest great respect of all others believes, and I believe this fourm is not proper place to dig the details of who meant what.

Let me put on this way when ppl despreately come here on this fourm to look some answers/help/clue on their concerns they are in absolutly full of panic, worries. and as they read/learn threads about what is going on with others, they start compare and they find themselves in fear of samething what other are going thourgh, and they start to get worried. Fear is the worst enemy of your, fear also trigger frustration, and anger. and they are signs of negative energy inside you.

I always try first, my best to make them calm down, by encouraging words, and encouraging for hope. I never mean more than that.

Whenever I use name 'God' I always write in "()" (Whaterver you believes on, and whatever you name him) and I believe ppl know it very well what all I mean that.

All I can give answer of your question is, I pray for you.

I hope you will get ur GC soon. and would be happy and busy in ur life. may be later u understand that GC is not everything in life, some ppl focus too much on GC in life and ignore many imporant thing around them, later they realize the fact. anyway all I can say is "Wish Good Luck".

Beside all I just remember the story. you may find some helpful things in it. :D


-----------------------------------------------------------------------

A sage presented a prince with a set of three small dolls.
The prince was not amused.

"Am I a girl that you give me dolls?" he asked.

"This is a gift for a future king," said the man.
"If you look carefully, you'll see a hole in the ear of each doll."

"So?"

The sage handed him a piece of string.
"Pass it through each doll," he said.

Intrigued, the prince picked up the first doll and put the string into the ear.
It came out from the other ear.

"This is one type of person," said the man. "Whatever you tell him, comes out from the other ear. He doesn't retain anything."

The prince put the string into the second doll. It came out from the mouth.

"This is the second type of person," said the man. "Whatever you tell him, he tells everybody else."

The prince picked up the third doll and repeated the process. The string did not reappear from anywhere else.

"This is the third type of person," said the man. "Whatever you tell him is locked up within him. It never comes out."

"What is the best type of person?" asked the prince.

The man handed him a fourth doll, in answer.
When the prince put the string into the doll, it came out from the other ear.
"Do it again," said the sage. The prince repeated the process. This time the string came out from the mouth. When he put the string in a third time, it did not come out at all.

"This is the best type of person," said the sage. "To be trustworthy, a man must know when not to listen, when to remain silent and when to speak out."

You would put AOS (Adjustment of status)
 
EAD/AP Timeline

Friends,

How long it is taking for EAD/AP renewal at TSC ? Did anyone got it within 4 to 6 weeks ?

I am planning trip abroad Mid Nov. and my Renewal application would reach TSC this weekend. Just concerned about timings....!

Also,My current EAD/AP would expire 12/08. So can my spouse fly out of country if the AP renewal is not received by Mid. Nov. ? Or you have to be here in USA when AP/EAD renewal is in process ?

I appreciate your time and help.

Regards,
 
EAD paper file

I just want to share some

My lawyer asked about 175 $ for each renewal application, i thought it is so stupid to give that kinda money for just renewal, and just one form to fill.

I downloaded the form from uscis website, i edited the fields, and filled all the information.

Sent the filled forms with the following

Just a simple cover letter for both myself and mywife.
2photos
485 receipt copy
Original first EAD mailer top portion ( it will be in the mail when they send the cards first time),
I94 copy (both sides)
EAD copy (both sides)
Driver's license copy.

WIthin a week i got the receipts for both myself and wife. Hopefully i get my ead renewal before the first one expires, i have 3 months to get my first one expire.

Freinds,

I was tracking my EAD/AP renewal application sent to TSC on Tuesday ,08/23.

The USPS tracking shows :

"We attempted to deliver your item at 11:44 am on August 25, 2005 in MESQUITE, TX 75185 and a notice was left. It can be redelivered or picked up at the Post Office." :confused:

Is it common that applications would be picked up by someone at TSC later on ? or they are accepted direclty ? Any one has seen this before ? Any feedback is appreciated.

I am just concerned that the address was correct and application would be received as early as possible. (all these thougts :courtsey GC FOBIA.......):)

Regards,
 
Don't worry, i also had the delivery confirmation, and the same message was there in usps.com, when i checked the delivery status.

I also thought that, i had sent to wrong address or something...

The next day, it showed that, the package delivered... I bet you'll see that tomorrow , and after a week or so, you'll see the check got cleared from your bank, if your bank has online image of the check, you open and see, on back of the check they will have the SRC number printed on each cleared check

Good luck, Dont; worry

Thank you so much....!

Hi nagakoosu,

Thank you very much...!

Your reply gave me lot of relief...! I checked the status again and it says package was delivered at 6:05 am today....!

Also, your EAD approval dates are giving me lots of hope. I am planning my trip abroad Nov.15 just praying to get my AP approved by that time. This is my 1st trip after 5 years 9 months and just dont want to miss it.....!

What would be the way to expedite (In case I need to) the request for AP ?

Thanks again...!


Regards,
