In this case NO EAD needed, GREEN-CARD IS work authorization. I highly recommend taking the green-card and SSN card to SSA and get the "With DHS auth" notation removed from the SSN card. Well, uh . . . yes! It's free for you guys. Not correct, I-765 renewal isn NOT free for the OP, they filed AOS/EAD/AP BEFORE July 30 2007 BEFORE USCIS increased the rate for AOS to include EAD and AP. In their case they will need to pay the fee to renew. $340 http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/men...00045f3d6a1RCRD re-read please
