EAD Approved

[mvk2002]

As per the online status my EAD is approved

On November 21, 2003, after approving your application, we ordered you a new card. Your card will be mailed to you as soon as it is ready.

My H1-B expires in Dec first week.

Do I have to receive this EAD card before the H1 expiry date to continue working with the same employer?

Thanks for the info

----- I hope you may get your EAD card at home address in 3-5 days. You need EAD or valid H1 for work; you may also file h1 extension before expiry of H1, it is much better to be on H1 status if I-140 is still not approved

Thanks for the info.

Attorney says once EAD is approved, employee / employer need not do anything to switch from H1-B to EAD.

As and when I receive the EAD, I just have to fax it to the HR for their records!

And I dont have to receive the EAD card before the expiry of the H1-B. As the approval date of EAD is prior to my H1-B expiry, I am all set!

Thanks
