Which clearly says, if you are submitting your form I765 as a standalone application and not as an extension or anyother categories below, filing should be done in the "Lockbox address found on USCIS's Direct Filing Addresses for Form I-765 Web page."...I have copied the address at the bottom of this message (Section2) for people living in different locations.

Eligibility Query on H4 EAD

Hello,

I'm currently on 9th year H1B and After completing 5.5 years with my old company, I moved to a new company which got my H1B extended for 3 years based on approved I-140 filed by old company, a couple of years ago. 3 Months after I got this extension, my I-140 was withdrawn by my old company. Now my new company has filed a new PERM. Would my spouse still be eligible for EAD based on the fact that my visa was extended post 6 year limit based on approved I-140 at that time, but it was extended under the section of 104(c) of AC 21? or should I still wait until I get a new approved I-140, because H4EAD rule says that you should either have approved I140 or have your Visa extended post 6 years under sections of 106(a) and (b) of AC 21? Since my visa was extended for 3 years post 6 years with an approved I140, it comes under 104(c), because it is not in the increment of one year. or Can I file I765 as soon as the new I-140 is filed after my PERM is approved?
