EAD Renewal

[parag_nisha]

Hi,

I am on L1 visa and my wife is on L2. Her EAD is expering in Feb 2006. She has applied for renewal of EAD and received the receipt with Notice dat of 12/22.

My question is can she work after Feb 2006 if she has not received any response on her EAD renewal application?

Thanks,
Parag

If you do not receive your new EAD even after 3 months (90 Days)of submitting your EAD renewal application form then you can get interim EAD from your local USCIS office, so that you do not have to stop working. To obtain an interim EAD, two USCIS-specified photographs and the 485 and EAD receipt notices are needed. You will get the interim EAD on the same day.

If your EAD expires and you dont receive the new one, you are not authrised to work for that period till you get the new one.
if 90 days over after you applied, you can go to the nearest USCIS office and get a intrim EAD instantly.
