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.
Your EAD reminder schedule
File your I-765
The ideal time to submit your EAD renewal. Since most renewals filed on/after Oct 30, 2025 get no automatic extension, filing now gives USCIS the most time to approve before your card expires.
Check case status
Verify your I-765 is received and processing. If you haven't filed, do so immediately.
Follow up if needed
If your receipt notice hasn't arrived, contact USCIS. Premium processing may be available.
Prepare for gap risk
UrgentWith no automatic extension for most renewals, alert your employer's HR team now if your renewal isn't approved yet.
Final reminder
UrgentYour EAD expires in 1 week. If your renewal isn't approved, confirm your options with an immigration attorney.

The automatic extension was removed in 2025
As of October 30, 2025, USCIS no longer grants an automatic extension for most EAD renewals. If you file on or after that date, you generally must wait for your renewal to be approved before you can keep working once your card expires. (Renewals timely filed before Oct 30, 2025, STEM OPT, and certain TPS categories are exceptions.)
With no safety net, filing early is everything. DueVisa's 180-day reminder gives USCIS the most possible time to approve your renewal before your current card expires.
