I officially have my EAD in my hand. Arrived today 23rd after being approved the 14th.
Sadly, I lost 4 months. I didnt expire til June 30th and my new EAD starts off immediately on Feb 15th, 2017 until Feb 14th, 2019 but hey.. if its a risk of losing it all or 4 months.. I'll take 4 months!
Excited to apply to others jobs now!
