I had applied for labor certification in Sept96 from out of status, under EB3, got it approved in 2001.Then I Applied for I-140, got it approved in 2003.I am covered under 245(i), so I applied for I-485, EAD with $1000 fine, job offer letter and all other required doc's in Sept 2003. I got my EAD in 0ct 2003.Now my question is do I have to work for my employer with EAD at least for 180 days or do I have choice to wait till I get my Green Card, without prior working to my employer and what are my choices at this point!
