Q: How do I update USCIS with my husband's extended DS-2019 for my pending J-2 EAD renewal?
I submitted my J-2 EAD renewal application two months ago, but I haven't received an approval notice yet. Meanwhile, my husband's DS-2019 has been extended for an additional year. How can I notify USCIS about the updated DS-2019, so they can extend my new EAD card validity period accordingly?

A:
To update USCIS with your husband's extended DS-2019 for your pending J-2 EAD renewal, you should send a copy of the new DS-2019 form along with a cover letter explaining the situation. In your cover letter, include your full name, date of birth, and your USCIS receipt number. Clearly state that you have already submitted your J-2 EAD renewal application and are now providing the updated DS-2019 for consideration.
Mail these documents to the USCIS service center where your J-2 EAD application is currently being processed. It's also a good idea to send the documents via a service that offers tracking, so you have proof of delivery.
Keep a copy of everything you send for your records. This will help ensure that USCIS has the most up-to-date information to process your EAD renewal accurately.
