EAD Renewal Reminder

Your EAD is your right to work. A lapse means you can't legally work — even one day. DueVisa sends automatic reminders starting 180 days before expiry, so you always file on time.

How the automatic extension works

If you file your I-765 renewal before your EAD expires, USCIS may grant an automatic extension of up to 540 days while your case is pending. This means you can keep working even if your card's physical expiry date passes.

The key: you must file on time. DueVisa's 180-day reminder is designed to give you enough runway to file before the window closes.
