Latest info to apply on EAD as of 7 oct 2006
Hi Guys :
i am posting this for some one who search for what is latest info to how to aply for EAd.EAd aplication has changed a lot here islates info as i applied it.
-lot of local offices if true all of them will not take your EAd applciation I-765 from oct 1 ,2006. You have two option first apply at chigago mail box addres your local ins will tell u or got to
www.uscis.gov select your office look under emplyment authorization filing procedure it will be there.
second option you have is E-file ,most people can e file some can not so check too, fyi I e filed under I-485 pending case i.e answer to que 16 on application is C09.
very imp lot of epoepl have confusion I had it too as some people had posted here you need to call 800 number after you E file to make FP appt. its false or may be changed now ,All E filed application goes to national benefit center so you wait they wil lmail your bio metric appoinment for finger print and photograph.
Third you dont need to send supporting docs with E file, but since due ti this change in rules I applied to renew EAd late so very concerned Im ailed them any how my previous EAd and copy of I-485 pending receipt, they mailed Fp in 10 days from date of E file.
E File is easy and convininet, there are few feild one can have question I had it to , sharing wioth you, i left country on advance parole so selected method os last entry as

A Advance parole (Dist Auth).
when I enter US I entered on student visa so put student visa in current visa status as there was no option of selecting I-485 pending.
Hope all this info helps some one who is aplpying or renew EAd after Oct,2006.
Thx
