I-765 EAD Further Update from USCIS and Clarification

Just a quick update on the USCIS update on the timing of I-765 applications for the renewal of employment authorization – EAD. Two days ago, the USCIS updated its website to advise that I-765 renewal applications would be denied if they were filed earlier than 120 days prior to the expiration of the applicant’s existing EAD end date.

To clarify, this 120 day rule does not apply to I-765 applications that are filed to replace an EAD that is lost, stolen, or mutilated, or that contains incorrect information. An I-765 filed for that purpose may be filed at any time.
