Hello,
I am PhD student and a graduate research assistant (GRA) in US. I am holding a J1 visa and my wife is holding a J2 visa. My wife is DV lottery winner and we want to apply for the Green Card by doing Adjustment of Status. I have a favorable recommendation from DOS for the J-1 waiver.
I was working as a GRA in campus before submitting our AoS application and I will still be employed while waiting for the Green Card result.
I am wondering what happens to my J1 status when I submit Form I-485 (AoS application).
Can I still be employed in campus with my J1 status?
What happens to my J1 Status if my Adjustment of Status gets declined?
Do I need to get a EAD to be able to work while waiting for the AoS result?
Thanks you
