EAD question, please help!

[NYvs]

Hello,

My husband and I are both hold H1B and we are waiting for I485 (1-140 approval led), he's primary applicant.

My H1B expire in 12/2006, I want to find another job, instead go through transferring H1B, I decided to apply for EAD, so I filled application last Sep and got a receipt. Then after 3 month, I checked online status, it says “this case has been approval led on 11/2005, the notice has been mailed…”, but until now, I NEVER received any notice or card from them, we didn’t move either. So I called them 1 month ago, a lady who answered me said they will check on this and mail me a new one, but almost 1 month passed , I still didn’t get ANYTHING, my husband called again, and they said this has been reported, call back in Feb…what’s wrong and what should I do????!!!!

Thank you! Does anybody have same problem??

One more question, sorry.

Sinece I applied EAD and it says "approvalled", what my current status? H1b or EAD??? because I heard onece you got EAD, H1B will be invalid.

H1B becomes invalid only when you use not with just approved!

When you work you need work permit. Now H1 is yoru work permit. When you use EAD as work permit then it means "using EAD". You fill certain form and inform HR that you are now working on EAD based on pending AOS.
