I filed my 485 from VSC and got EAD. As situation forced me to change the job I moved to another state which falls under NSC and I haven't notified VSC about my address/job change.

Now I am planning to Renew my EAD as it getting closer to expire.

My question is where to send my Application VSC or NSC?

Thanks!!
 
I'm not sure I qualify as a guru, but here's my take on this.
First, I hope you sent AR-11 to INS HQ whithin 10 days from address change. If you didn't, I'd say do it ASAP.
Second, hire a lawyer and seek his opninon on this. My understanding is that in order to qualify for renewal of EAD you need to supply your I-485 receipt.
If you send this to NSC, they will be confused by VSC I-485 receipt.
If you send this to VSC, they may( or may not ) be confused by your new address.
Based on common sense, filing with VSC seems a safer option, however, this is not what you are supposed to be according to INS.
When you change address, you need to:
1. Send AR-11 to INS HQ
2. Call your SC and make them change address on your I-485. Now that may trigger transfer of your case to NSC( I think that depends on internal INS state your application is in ), which is what you priobably want to avoid by not notifying them of your address. The truth is, you need to eventually, otherwise you won't be able to recieve any notice regarding your application. Which is why you should definetely seek a lawyer so that you can work out a solution
Good luck

You got me correct.

I have not yet notified VSC about my address change.

1.If I notify now it may trigger case transfer to NSC. And it takes
time NSC to receive the transfer and then to process my EAD
renewal. Meanwhile my EAD will get expired.

2.If I don't notify VSC about my address change, it is not correct
way and more over they will send the approval to my old
address and Post Ofiice would not forward it to my present
address.

As you said I better to contact a lawyer but I doubt they would be any help on this matter.

I appreciate your advise.
 
VSC will send a reply to whatever address you give them in EAD application. An address is assigned to an application, not applicant.
I suggested the lawyer because some of them may actually have experience with what happens in cases like this.
As far as your EAD expiring, as long as you figure out where you should file your application and file it, if EAD doesn't get approved with 90 days - possibly because of the transfer issue - you can always obtain an interim EAD at loacl INS office.
Good luck
 
If VSC sends their response to the address given in EAD renewal form, then probably I can take a chance and apply to VSC. Even if they transfer my case to NSC I will be eligible to take interim EAD.

It helps you to boost your morale if somebody tries to help you out.

Thank you verymuch for your help.
