EAD Renewal

[manjonn]

My EAD is expiring on November 19th. I have not filed for my EAD renewal. I will be probably be doing early next month.

Can I file for EAD renewal myself, are there any problems associated with it?

If there is gap in EAD what will happen?

I have a valid H1B approval. I dont intend to change my employer in next few months.

you can renew your EAD online. I did not face any problems at all. It is very straight forward application.
You can still change employers, provided, if you have passed 180 day rule.

I have a question related to this EAD renewal. I very well understand that one should not work after the EAD is expired and while waiting for EAD renewal. Some forums mention that a person can be on unpaid vacation while other forums mention that the person has to quit job. So, what is the least that can be done while waiting for EAD renewal.

--------------------you can directly file your EAD or can file through lawyer

If there is gap in EAD what will happen?
----------------------if you are working on EAD then you need valid EAD in Hand.
I have a valid H1B approval.
------------------if you are working on H1 then you dont have problem you can work on H1 Status till H1 validity. many apply EAD AP as back up plan or for emergency use.
I dont intend to change my employer in next few months.
