Hello everyone! I did MBBS from India and am going to apply to residency programs next September(2005). However, there seems to be some confusion regarding my future status. I just married a permanent resident and she has been a permanent resident for more than 10 years. Right now I am on an F1 visa. She is going to apply for her citizenship but it might take her about one year in Houston. I am not sure if I can get an EAD by September 2005 to escape the H1/J1 quagmire. Is there any way I can get an EAD by then? I know that after she becomes a citizen, I should be able to get EAD but what happens till then? Can I tell the residency directors that I WILL get an EAD AFTER my wife becomes a citizen? Will they be OK with such a vague promise?
Thanx everyone in advance for any suggestions, comments! :)
 
good idea to just get going with the citizenship. You will then be eligible as, the spouse, for immediate filing of all documents including EAD.

I would say tell the residency director that you think you will have an EAD by Sep 2005 otherwise by then they can apply for a H1 until the citizenship comes through.
