Please Need Last Minute help for e-filing EAD renewal

[sd70]

I changed my job and now working in a new company using my EAD and my EAD will expire on mid November. I’m planning to renew by myself through e-filing in CSC. Anyone is there anyone who e-filed by himself in CSC? I have few question please help me to solve.

1. Any idea how early can one apply for an EAD extension? I went through this portal and find that it would be better if you file before 90 days. Can I file before 90+10 days? I’m asking this because first I asked my lawyer to do that she said I can’t renew before 90 days. I’m little confused.

2. I already sent my AC21 by Lawyer (who filled my LC and everything from 1st day).So now if I renew EAD by myself not by Lawyer, is there any harm? Will this create any hassles further.

3. Have you ever before applied for employment Authorization form BCIS? What will be the answer? Should the answer be:

the date my last EAD application was received at the service center (received date on I-765 receipt notice)

or
the date my last EAD application was noticed at the service center

or
the date my last EAD was issued

4. Current status
I’m working by EAD it means my status is “AOS Pending”. Am I right?

5. “Always check the box which says I will be mailing supporting docs !!” In which address I’ve to send all supporting documents for California Service Center?

6. I have no plan to renew my AP right now can I do it just before one month of AP Expire Date?

7. If I renew my EAD by Lawyer and after that if I renew my wife’s EAD by myself will this create any hassles further?

Please reply.
Thank you.

---------------you can file anytime less than 6 months before your current EAD expires. I would recommend 4 months, or 3 months+couple of weks at least...

2. I already sent my AC21 by Lawyer (who filled my LC and everything from 1st day).So now if I renew EAD by myself not by Lawyer, is there any harm? Will this create any hassles further.

---------------I do not see any harm

3. Have you ever before applied for employment Authorization form BCIS? What will be the answer? Should the answer be:

the date my last EAD application was received at the service center (received date on I-765 receipt notice)

or
the date my last EAD application was noticed at the service center

or
the date my last EAD was issued

---------------I did put the month in which application was received by VSC, like 10/2003

4. Current status
I’m working by EAD it means my status is “AOS Pending”. Am I right?

---------------yes

5. “Always check the box which says I will be mailing supporting docs !!” In which address I’ve to send all supporting documents for California Service Center?

---------------I did not e-file, filed by paper...

6. I have no plan to renew my AP right now can I do it just before one month of AP Expire Date?

--------------renewal of AP is not a must, you can stay without AP, just cannot travel

7. If I renew my EAD by Lawyer and after that if I renew my wife’s EAD by myself will this create any hassles further?

-----------------I do not see any problem. For EAD, you just need to fill the form basically and attach a few copies, why use a lawyer...

Please reply.
Thank you.

Hi Compass,

Thanks a lot for your reply. I've some more to ask...

For Paper based Filing:
1. In CSC, which address I’ve to send the renew application for EAD and AP? Or any link from where i can get the address?
2. At the end of the form after signature, print name etc. there is a table where are some column like Initial Receipt, Resubmitted, Relocated, Complete etc. what are these?
3. For EAD renewal check or money order payable to the “DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY”. Is it right?
4. What are the specification for Photograph like front face etc?

Please reply.
Thank you.
