J2- Ead

Hi everyone

Can anyone let me know as how early one can apply for EAD renewal. If my EAD expires in november, 07, can i apply for renewal in may 07, or so.

Thanks

you should apply about 3 months in advance, so you don't have lapses. USCIS says you can appy as early as 6 months in advance, but I believe that shortens your EAD eligibility period, since the new EAD might be valid from the date long before your old one expires.

thanks LucyMo for the information
