Hello Anil,
I was previously on L2 visa and had applied for EAD then. Currently I am on H4 visa and planning to apply for EAD. My question is should I attach my L2 EAD with the application form? Will it be a renewal or fresh application for me?
Thanks,
Nidhi.
Your H4-EAD will be a new EAD application based on the new category code i.e. C(26) - Specifically meant for spouses of H1B Visa worker.
There is a field on H4 EAD i-765 form that asks for any prior EAD work permits.
You will have to share your L2 EAD information there.
You may want to use this sample H4-EAD application form and step by step process for application:
File H4 EAD yourself with I-765 form, document checklist. Fees $410. Renew 180 days before expiry. H1B primary I797 receipt required. Processing time 2-7 month.
Est. reading time: 8 minutes

Hello Anil,
I have another question! Should I wait for the hard copy of I140 or should I go ahead and file EAD with the receipt number!
Thanks,
Nidhi
I would suggest to wait for hard copy.
