EAD Clock Restart

EAD clock for my case was stopped after motion to change of venue to another state was approved. I applied EAD and was denied because of EAD clock was stopped. My master hearing date was in the beginning of next year, I would like to know whether the Judge will restart the EAD clock or not. I have heard from many people that there were couple of cases where their EAD clock were not restarted. I would like to know under which circumstances they usually don't restart the clock. Appreciate very much for the answer.

The clock is stopped if the respondent/applicant requests a continuance The Court is obligated to give the first available date for asylum unless a date is unavailable. The request for action other than a final hearing stopped the clock. 

You must now prevail on your asylum claim. Otherwise, you will not qualify for employment authorization. You should retain an attorney to help avoid the same fate that you experienced before the asylum office. The referral to the immigration court meant that an asylum officer was unconvinced of your claim. Perhaps, better preparation and documentation of your asylum may result in a favorable decision. 

The above is general information and does not create an attorney client relationship.

The action of applying for change of venue stopped the clock. 

It is advisable to have an immigration lawyer to represent you if you have concerns about your case. 

Goodluck.
