Can I work on L2 EAD when the USCIS website is saying the extension is approved/card in producton? Or i have to wait till the physical copy of L2 EAD is received.
My current EAD expires on 28th Jan'13. Can i continue to work or will be forced to take a break till the new EAD is received in mailbox?

    If it was recently approved, don't be surprised if it shows up before the 28th.

    Or, as Mr. Shusterman stated ... you may need to take a couple of days off.
