1. What is the EAD Clock?

The EAD (Employment Authorization Document) clock tracks the number of days since filing certain immigration applications. It's crucial for determining eligibility and processing timelines for work authorization in immigration cases.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses a simple date difference calculation:

\[ Clock = Current Date - Filing Date \]

Where:

\( Filing Date \) — The date when the application was submitted
\( Current Date \) — The present date or any specified date for calculation

Explanation: The calculator computes the exact number of days between the filing date and the current/reference date.

3. Importance of EAD Clock Calculation

Details: Accurate EAD clock calculation is essential for tracking eligibility periods, determining when to file renewal applications, and understanding processing timelines for employment authorization documents.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the original filing date and the current date (or any reference date). Both dates must be valid calendar dates.
