EAD Renewal
my L2 EAD was about to expire in April 2021, so I applied for renewal in October 6 months ahead of expiry. I received my renewed card only with 2 months validity feb 2021-April 2021, with same expiry. Did any one face the same issue??

Is L1 renewed already ? If so this could be an error, talk to USCIS agent over a call or chat they should be able to help you.

@Peru V . L1 is valid till dec 2021..

I think you applied too early. Normally one should apply within 3 months before expiration.
I am not sure but they might have thought you are applying for lost card and issued one with the same expiration.
I am not sure about it so better talk with USCIS and make it clear.

@DG- thanks will talk to them on Monday.. I did this on suggestion of office immigration dept.

no. it is best to apply 6 months. your case is unique and unfortunate. but please call USCIS. they should be tell you the next steps.

if your L1 is valid till Dec 2021, how is your L2 EAD valid till April 2021? This could BA the reason it is not renewed. There is some missing information.

I did not get an RFE too.. first time I applied, I received validity of 2years...

It’s a mystery.. will post the response given by uscis..

My combo card was about to expire and I tried to get it renewed but when I called USCIS the person on the line told me I would get and extension of 6 months, he also said that your employer would call them because you can’t work over your authorize date.... So in all honesty you wasted that money and the 6 months extension is free, before that 6 months extension is up you would get your GC interview and won’t need the work permit any more

L2 EAD holders are not permitted an extension of 6 months. I called uscis this morning and they had replied, if u feel it was an uscis error please submit all docs again with a letter indicating error.. which would again take 6 months processing time😔
Kelvin ThomasMar 1, 2021
well I don’t know who you spoke to but when I called that was the information given to me and after a month I got my interview date

L2 EAD card is different than GC EAD.

@sunaina, Sorry to hear. Is this your first L2 EAD extension or second time ?
emily oMar 23, 2021
@sunaina, did you get any answers on this? I have applied for my L2 EAD renewal and I’m very worried that the same thing will happen to me! had you ticked the box for renewal?
Rohini Thiruvathigai DeendayalMar 23, 2021
@emily, is this your first time renewal or second time?
emily oMar 23, 2021
@rohini first renewal. it will then expire in December along with my L2 so I will have to renew again immediately once I receive it alongside my L2 extension

@emily Thank you for your information. I wish everything goes well for you.
emily oMar 23, 2021
@rohini you too!
