Attention all individuals with work authorization in the U.S.! If your Employment Authorization Document (EAD) is nearing its expiration date, it is crucial to file your renewal application in a timely manner. According to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), you can submit your EAD renewal application as early as 180 days before your current card expires.
Given potential processing times, it is especially important to manage your application process carefully during this period. There is a significant benefit to filing your renewal before your EAD expires. Upon receiving your Receipt Notice, your current work authorization is automatically extended for up to 540 days. This extension allows you to continue working legally while your new card is being processed.
To ensure a smooth process and avoid any disruptions to your employment, remember to check your EAD’s expiration date and submit your renewal application well in advance. Should you have any questions, you can contact our experts.
