Work Permit Renewed in Only 27 Days!

On April 2, 2015, we electronically filed ("e-filed") our client's Employment Authorization Document (EAD) renewal application, Form I-765. 

On April 10, 2015, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) CIS issued the notice of the fingerprinting appointment, set for April 27, 2015.

On April 29, 2015, USCIS approved the renewal (new EAD valid 07/24/15 to 07/23/16).

So the total processing time was only 27 days!
