Renewing EAD Questions ?

[prashanthchou]

I have questions about renewing EAD, may be people who have already gone through this might know all the answers:

This is my 2nd EAD renewal.
My EAD is expiring in March 2011.


1) Can we renew the EAD now ?

2) Can we renew the EAD online ? If YES weblink.

3) If we have to renew only through mail, which
USCIS address do I need to send it to ?

4) Can we do the EAD renewal ourselves or advisable to go through an attorney ?


5) Any weblink which has all the forms & instructions ?

6) How much time does it take for the EAD renewal in the current times ?

7) I have applied my I-485 in September 2007, do I need to pay fees
for the EAD renewal ? on some of the USCIS websites I have read
that no EAD fees for people who have applied for I-485 after 7/30/2010.

If you are having trouble doing that, an attorney may be a better idea.

You should apply well in advance as it takes 3 to 4 months for the renewal process.
