Should I renew my EAD as I'm still using H1. H1 valid till 2010

Hi,

My EAD expires this Nov 08. Do I have to renew my EAD as I'm still using my H1 which is valid till oct 2010. I'm thinking of renewing my EAD in 2010 to save the EAD renewal fee. Can I do that? Would I face any problems by doing that? My priority date for GC isn't current yet.

Thanks
Suneel

EAD renewal is not mandatory if you don't need it and will not impact anything with the GC. You can re-apply when you have a need for it. People choose to keep it handy, just in case though and $340 investment for a 2 year EAD is worth it.

I am not a lawyer and you need to consult with one to validate any info posted on the forum and discuss your case specifics. H1b Question? Read the FAQ first.
