My Attorney told me that, while MTR is pending, EAD can be used. However, USCIS may not renew the EAD until I-485 reopen. When 485 reopened both EAD/AP will be valid until expiration and can be renewed.phani8 said:Hi all,

R u sure that till they open i-485, they cannot renew EAD
I just applied for EAD renewal and they haven't open my I290B from past 4 months(10/13/04). I don't see any lud on my 140/485 either.
what should I expect from them then? do they just keep that EAD renewal file as pending till they open 485??

Normally once MTR is accepted and 140 is reopened, it is approved within a week. So you should see the 140 approval between today and Monday. What is the message on your 485? Mine is reopened on xyz date.kmol60 said:Hi Everybody,

My wife's case got reopened yesterday. I had to call USCIS about 4 times. First they said they will send the info to the concerned officer. Second time, after 15 days, they said file has been requested. After few days, the file had reached the officer and was told case will be reopened shortly. Next time same thing again and after few days case got reopened.EricS said:Hi Dazzling,
Thanks for your suggestion. I just called the 800 number and followed the instructions as mentioned in your post. Once I got connected to VSC, they asked me to provide the EAC# for my wife's case and said they will send this information to concerned officer and the case will be reopened. I also changed the address at same time. I will keep everyone updated on the status.

Wait for your 140 approval. Should happend by Monday or Tuesday. Then call for your Husband and son's 485 if these are not opened in another 2-3 days after that.kmol60 said:My case both I-140 and I 485 are opened on March 11, and no approval posted or e-mail .
