Topic1 Employment Authorization

Employment Authorization

Got married to USC in Oct 2009. I-485 filed. Received EAD and advance parole Jan 2010.

January 2010 - USC husband withdrew his I-130.

January 2010 - I filed an I-360 based on spousal abuse.

December 2010 - I-360 approved.

I want to submit I-765 for EAD, but Im confused. The previous EAD expired in December and was linked to our joint I-485 submission. I have a few questions...

Am I applying for a renewal EAD or a new one based on my approved I-360?

I already done all the biometrics and have my A# from the original application so will I need to do this over again? And the medical?

Can I apply for EAD without submission of the I-485?

Im just concerned about all the fees. Im in a catch 22 situation. I cant afford the fee for the I-485 but I need to be able to work.

Id be grateful if anyone could advise.
