iEAD expiring soon! Need Help!

[SanJoseHose]

Hi All, Gurus and Non Gurus
I am in Tough situation and need all the help I can get.
My iEAD is expiring next month after 9 months and I still have not received a word on I-140 approval. I went to San Jose office to get iEAD renewed but they asked me to file a new I-765 form and then wait for 90 days and then go to INS to collect next iEAD.
Does this make sense to you all? I have a I-765 already pending and need to appy another one... I don't understand why?? To get one more I-765 in the line?
My lawyer asked me not to work in between 90 days of waiting. It is so hard to find jobs these days and lawyer is asking me to sit at home.
I really don't know what to do. Help me !!

Re; iEAD expiring soon! Need Help!

You needed to file an I-765 again about 3 months before your iEAD was expiring. Your attorney should have told you about this. I am not sure why this is required, but such is the process.

-Best of luck,

am_tan,

Thanks for the information. I did not know this before. So for both iEDA and EDA holder need to apply extention 90 days before expire date or only in iEDA case?

To the best of my knowledge, one needs to file for both of these extensions (iEAD & EAD) 90 days in advance, to be eligible for an iEAD at the local BCIS office, if the application isn't adjudicated.
