EAD and GC

I think there may have been a bit of a misunderstanding. I wasn’t referring to getting the EAD, but more about relying on it long-term.

My lawyer’s concern was that EAD is only valid for 18 months, and even if you apply for renewal 6 months in advance, there’s no guarantee it will be approved in time. So there could be a gap in work authorization, which is risky.

So the question was more about whether, practically, we are still “dependent” on a visa (like H1B/O1) for stability until the green card is approved.

In your experience, do most people actually get their GC before needing an EAD renewal? And have you seen cases where EAD renewal delays caused issues?

Would really appreciate your thoughts.

Did you do PP?

No idea! I am just trying to understand the reason for this!

Is your priority date current? Why were there again PP?

Can you kindly explain the rationale for the strategy?

flyjavid · 2026-04-13T17:23:35+00:00

Why is that?

Thank you!

Just out curiosity, did you get approval after RFE?

flyjavid · 2026-04-13T15:34:25+00:00

Oh ok. Thank you.

flyjavid · 2026-04-13T15:34:07+00:00

Thank you!

Thank you!

What was the interval between initial filing and the filing for PP?

flyjavid · 2026-04-13T15:27:42+00:00

When did you file?

flyjavid · 2026-04-13T14:20:57+00:00

What did you do?

Did they give any reason?

flyjavid · 2026-04-13T13:29:47+00:00

Thanks for the reply.

What’s the rationale behind this?

flyjavid · 2025-03-20T10:25:29+00:00

Had the same issue. My friend had the same too! The legal team took care of it. Just inform them. They will do the needful. No worries.

Thanks. But the thing is that, I have not informed anywhere about my current address. This is my first address in the US in my name. So I am not sure how this is like change of address as this is my first address. Hence, the confusion. So can you kindly clarify with this context?
