When to apply for EAD & AP Extension

[PKSVS]

My first EAD & AP will expire on 15 Jan 2004.
When should I apply for its extension ? If I apply it 3-4 months early,do they give the new Card vaild from 16th Jan 2004 for 1 Year or 1 Year from the date of approval of the Extension?


Thanks

180 days before expiration

you can apply for 180 days prior to expiration, some people have lost time on EAD since BCIS renewed from the date of approval of EAD, in my case i got my EAD renewed from the date of expiration of the current/present EAD that i have.

My preference ...
EAD: around Oct. 1, 2003
AP: NOW! (as TSC is processing 5 month old AP cases currently)
