If you need to renew your EAD, consult USCIS’s processing times tool (at https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/) to know when to expect your application to be processed. Ensure you know whether your category qualifies for an automatic extension. While many EADs are automatically extended if you renew on time, deferred action-based EADs, like EADs for DACA or DED beneficiaries, don’t.
