User Question: I applied for the renewal of my EAD in September 2023, and I still only have the notice. I have fallen into the 540-day automatic extension category. Could that be the reason they still haven’t produced my card? Is anyone else having the same experience with their EAD renewal?
Expert Answer: Yes, the 540-day automatic extension allows you to continue working while waiting for your new EAD. Due to USCIS processing delays, many applicants experience long wait times before receiving their new cards. If your case is beyond normal processing times, you may submit an inquiry through the USCIS website or contact an immigration attorney for further guidance.
