My spouse is waiting for the new EAD, the once that He got before expired? Can he work with the received from USCI that they got a new application?

Whether your spouse can continue to work under a receipt for filing a new application for employment authorization depends upon whether the application was submitted prior to the expiration of his former EAD and whether the application was in the same category for which he was previously approved. Under his political asylum application, the legend on the employment authorization card was (C) (8). If the new application was timely filed under the same (C) (8) category, he would be authorized for employment while awaiting a decision by U.S.C.I.S. On the other hand, if he applied for a new EAD under the legend for adjustment of status, (C) (9), he would not be authorized for work during the pendency of the application even if timely filed. He would have to wait until U.S.C.I.S. made a decision on the application.
