Hello all,
I have recently received my OPT EAD card, which has May 22nd as the start date. I do have an offer from a company and was planning on starting on the 22nd. However, my dad has recently been diagnosed with a terminal cancer, and so I wanted to spend some time with him before it's too late (he's in the U.S.).
My question is, can I legally push the job start date to 5th of June (my employer is already OK with this) instead of May 22nd that my EAD card specifies? There would basically be an unemployment period of 2 weeks; is this allowed?
Thanks!
