I’m reaching out for clarification regarding my current H-1B status and the implications of marrying my U.S. citizen boyfriend in relation to my upcoming Adjustment of Status [Change of Status] process. As my H-1B is set to begin on October 1st, I have a few important questions regarding the process and its impact in regards to employment.

1. Termination of H-1B: Once we get court married, will my H-1B automatically be terminated?
2. Work Authorization: If my H-1B is terminated, will I still be allowed to work while my I-485 is under review and my I-765 for the Employment Authorization Document (EAD) is pending approval?
3 If H-1B is Terminated: In the event that my H-1B is terminated before my EAD is approved, what are my options to continue working during this period?
