    WE CAN HELP YOU RENEW YOUR EMPLOYMENT AUTHORIZATION DOCUMENT (EAD)

    Employment Authorization Documents (also known as EADs or work permits) must be renewed on a regular basis. If your EAD expires before your renewal application has been approved, you will be out of status and will have a more complicated immigration process. It’s very important to contact an attorney before your EAD expires. With today’s backlog of permit applications, the process can take more than a year to complete.

    HOW DOES THE EAD RENEWAL PROCESS WORK?


    The first step is to file form I-765 with USCIS (US Citizenship and Immigration Services). If you’re applying for the first time or renewing your current EAD, the process is mostly the same.

    If you are renewing your EAD, you must submit a copy of the EAD you have now. You will also need to provide other supporting documents, such as:

    EAD renewal also requires a $410 filing fee, though you could be eligible for a fee waiver if you had a removal proceeding suspended, if you are a temporary resident with deferred Enforcement Departure status, economic hardship, or if you work for NATO or other specific international organizations.
