Hi, I am an IMG applying for a fellowship with I-485 pending (regression country). Can I tell programs that EAD is equvalent of green card in terms of no need fo visa support? How can I convince them that this is the case? I doubt many of them understand. Anybody please share your thoughts. Thank you.

absolutely.Only caveat is " is there any chance of rejection of your 485" or is it related to your job.

absolutely.Only caveats: what if 485 gets rejected then EAD is immediately cancelled,is your 485 based on your current job as fellowship is a training not a job

Thank you so much for your reply. I applied for NIW via my research work in cancer research done as a PhD student. will apply for Oncology fellowship. My attorney told me chance of rejection is very slim. I am currently on H1 visa. Should I apply for EAD card now to show them or can just tell the programs? Fellowship would start in 2008.

Dear img img
depends on the program.A lot of programs I know are asking for a copy of EAD or green card as they are concerned after big debate about illegal immigration and laws to stop it and incriminate employers.
A lot of american people specially physicians have no clue about immigration,difference between EAD,visa etc.My advice: don't give them a chance to be suspicious.It is not easy to get fellowship.If they ask for a copy or proof then get it and show it.It may now take a while to get EAD.
Good luck
