What do i need to renew my EAD/AP Combo card

[lastjedi]

My card is due to expire July 2017, so i want to start gathering necessary information i will need to know ahead of time and any fees involved. This is my first time renewing so i will be happy if i can get any suggestions from community.

Questions
1. Is there a fee to renew EAD and AP , My filing category was C9 ( Spouse of citizen )

2. If there is a fee for both, i will fill prefer to file for EAD only, because i don't have any plans to travel ( Is it ok to file for the AP even if i don't use)

3. Which documents do i need to submit for the EAD / AP

4. Where do i send the application , i am currently residing in Houston Texas


**Unrelated Question - I got married April 11 2017 / filled Dec 20 / Got EAD in July 2018 / Under what term do you get approved for a 10 year green card instead of the temporary 2year card, Since our marriage is now 1year & 6months so far now without invitation for green card interview. I know tons of people have waited longer than this, i am just asking.

1. There is no fee for either.
2. N/A; It is ok to apply for the AP even if you have no plans to travel.
3. You need to submit the same documents as before with the addition of copies of your I-485 receipt and the front and back of your current EAD. Make sure you read the instruction document carefully.
4. Last I checked (in October), it was the Chicago Lockbox. When you go to USCIS.gov, click on Forms. This is the only place you should download forms. On the form’s page under the pdf links to the form and instructions, there is additional information including where to file.

For your other question, if your case is approved before your 2 year anniversary, you’ll get a two year green card. If after, you’ll get a 10 year green card. In our case, I’m pretty sure filing the renewals triggered our interview as the EAD/AP renewal receipts were dated the same as the interview notice.
