Hi

My husband’s h1b got extended till 2023 (as he switched the job) and so does my h4. But my EAD is till Sep 2022. So how soon can I apply for EAD extension? I’ve heard that I can apply anytime not like 6months before that we usually do at the time of extension. Can you please confirm! Thank you

You cannot file for a renewal EAD more than 180 days before your original EAD expires.

However you can apply for H4/EAD renewal along with H1B extension or change of employer petition any time irrespective of the expiry of current EAD.
