xiaobaitu, twocents and others: a question about EAD ttzy2006-09-28 16:20:27

Hi, Xiaobaitu, my EAD based on F-1 is expiring in Jan 07. My wife applied for I-140 and 485 last Sept. Her lawyer is applying for an EAD based on 485 for me effective Jan 07. The lawyer called it renewal in the application. Since the EAD is switching from F-1 to 485 based, should we call it new application? Also, how soon should we expect to hear (at least a receipt) from USCIS after EAD application is sent? Thank you for your help!

The case isn't a renew case,since you will change your EAD's

I do not think it matters.

Thank you both for answering! one more question inside
