I mailed my application on Dec.9. INS cashed my check on Dec. 16. I received receipt on Dec. 18. The notice date is Dec. 13, receive date is Dec. 11. I renewed EAD by myself, not attorney.
This is my information.

No.
As far as I know, you cannot work on an expired EAD. The receipt for renewal is no good for working.
You can try to get an iEAD if it has been 90 days since you applied for EAD.
**This is not a legal advise - Consult your attorney for that**

??
Junior says " My attorney says, as long you have the receipt of renewal EAD, you can continue to work at the same place that you are working now."
Can someone else confirm this please? I don't think this is true. If this was the case, why would so many people try to get iEAD??

I would be interested in a confirmation myself. But there are multiple reasons why people go for iEAD, spouses can go to work on iEAD, people can switch jobs based upon iEAD while waiting for their EAD to come through etc. Hence the demand of iEAD outside of the primary applicant continuing to work.
I really wish they would give EAD's that are valid as long as the 485 application is pending. It has been 3 months since I applied for my EAD and haven't received it as yet. But when I get it, it will be back dated to when I applied, effectively giving me less than 7 - 8 months on it, but since it takes 5 months to get a new EAD in any case, I might actually end up applying for a renewal before I get my EAD in hand. Freaking stupid asses! What can I say?

"But there are multiple reasons why people go for iEAD, spouses can go to work on iEAD"
--Spouse can get iEAD for her/himself
"people can switch jobs based upon iEAD while waiting for their EAD to come through etc"
--People can switch jobs on any EAD
"I really wish they would give EAD's that are valid as long as the 485 application is pending"
--Excellent idea, only INS doesn't get it
"But when I get it, it will be back dated to when I applied, effectively giving me less than 7 - 8 months on it"
-Not true, the new EAD will be valid from the day it is approved. So you can work for almost one year on the new EAD.

That is what I meant, spouse goes for iEAD so she/he can start working.
--People can switch jobs on any EAD
Only true if they have an EAD. If they don't then they need atleast an iEAD before they switch jobs.
I was trying to put forward reasons why people would go for iEAD as compared to work on receipt.
--Not true, the new EAD will be valid from the day it is approved. So you can work for almost one year on the new EAD.
I hope this is true. It wasn't so in the case of my AP, which came a few weeks ago. It was back dated 2 months from the time I applied. Also, the EAD that I received as part of my OPT was backdated as well, I got it 6 months after I applied and I had it effective for 6 months only as it is valid for only 1 year.
