Conditional Permanent Resident Card and EAD Renewal

[jpd]

Hello all,

My wife's EAD card is coming up for renewal - I am pretty sure about this but I would like confirmation.

She has her conditional Permanet Resident Card (Green Card) that expires in March of '09 (we will petition to have the conditional statrus removed prior to that time) -

Am I correct that she does NOT need a new EAD card since she has her Green Card?

I would appreciate any help on this,

Thanks,

Long time, Paul! How've you been?  

I'm no expert but it was always my understanding that the
Green Card, even though conditional, precluded the need
for EAD (and Advance Parole for that matter). In itself the
card implies the right to be here - and the right to work...

...and apparently 2 very reliable members have gotten on board ahead of me!
