Hi All,

I went to Sears to get the immigration pictures and I got three sets of pictures for EAD,AP and 485.In each set one picture looks OK and the other one looks a little lighter.She used Polaroid camera.Is it quite normal?
Do I need to redo it again? Otherthan that everything looks OK.

What will be the usual validity time period for EAD and AP.I have valid H1
and Visa till June 2003.Is it better to apply now?If it is given for one year can it be extended?or Can I apply in April or May of 2003?

Thanks
Naveen
 
Answers to questions other than the silly photo one

EAD and AP are valid for 1 Year each. It takes about 30 -90 days to receive them depending upon service center. This keeps changing every month too and every service center have gone beyond 90 days in the past one year (especially for EAD)
Generally you should apply for extension of AP and EAD 3 months before expiry, since AP and EAD are not given retroactively from RD.
