Tucson, AZ asked in Immigration Law for Arizona

Q: I am asylum pending applicant. I have a lawyer. I was wondering if I have to use my lawyer for the EAD renewal process.

I am asylum pending applicant. I have a lawyer. I was wondering if I have to use my lawyer for the EAD renewal process. I am confident I know what/where/how to file the application and the materials necessary and because I am a little strapped for cash I'd like to do this on my own without having my lawyer do it and charge me for it. Bad idea or doable, what do you guys think?

Do I also need to file G-28?

A: No. You do not need to use your lawyer for EAD. That is your decision. If you file pro se, you would not need to file a G-28.
