How do I renew my Employment Authorization Document (EAD)?

In Michigan, you must renew your Employment Authorization Document (EAD) in a timely manner to maintain your eligibility to work in the United States. The process for renewing your EAD varies depending on your immigration status. If you are a lawful permanent resident (LPR), you must file form I-765 (Application for Employment Authorization) with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). Along with your application, you must submit other documents that show proof of your LPR status and any other necessary evidence. Once USCIS receives your application, you will receive an approval or denial of your renewal request within 90 days. If you are not an LPR, you must file form I-539 (Application to Extend/Change Nonimmigrant Status) with USCIS. Along with your application, you must submit other documents that show proof of your non-immigrant status and any other necessary evidence. Once USCIS receives your application, you will receive an approval or denial of your renewal request within 90 days. If you are approved for renewal, you will receive a new EAD card. You should use this new card when you apply for a new job. It is important to note that you cannot work without a valid EAD card. Therefore, it is important that you renew your EAD in a timely manner to maintain your eligibility to work in the United States.
