My original EAD is pending since Feb. 6. I received RFE on it (marriage certification copy lost by BCIS) in November 2003. RFE submitted about 2 weeks ago.
Based on pending original EAD I applied and received an interim EAD (iEAD) in June. iEAD is valid until end of February.
My question was if I can go and get a second iEAD at the local INs, while my original is still pending, provided my original EAD will have not been approved by late January, let's say.
------------ I hope they may not give you EAD based on pending EAD, because you got iEAD on the base of this pending EAD application
In this case, why shall I apply for a renewal when I haven't received the first one?
------------- Nobody is forcing you to apply for new EAD renewal.
Are you talking about iEAD renewal or EAD renewal?
----- I was saying for sending new application of EAD renewal to BCIS. I would not mind paying $120 for new EAD application if my EAD is expiring in Feb I will send my new EAD renewal application immediately as back up.
Remember it was just my suggestion to file for new EAD and nobody is forcing you. Act what you feel better.
“Why shall I apply for a renewal when I haven't received the first one?”
--------Ask the BCIS or USCIS? I did not have answer
