EAD renewal, worried - please comment

peptic ulcer

Registered Users (C)
My EAD is expiring this month 01/18/03. My EAD renewal RD is 11/26/02(I am cursing myself for applying for renewal so late).
I am working for the same employer for last three and a half years on HIB i have the H1 renewal till feb 2005. However ever since I got my EAD last feb 2002 I have been doing some extra partime jobs on weekends and week day nights and also recently I entered US on my advance parole and my I-94 says "Parolee".
This puts me in parolee or adjustee status eventhough I have h1b renewal till feb 2005 and I continue to work for my h1b employer full time.

How can I solve this problem once my EAD expires end of next week .
1. Can I send in another H1B renewal ASAP to get back to H1 status.
2. I dont think I can stop working for my H1b employer.Does any part of the law allow me to continue to work till I get my EAD renewed.

thanks in advance.
 
if your EAD expires , you should able to work on existing H1.
That's what my lawyer adviced me.


Let's hope that you will get your EAD before H1 expires.
 
hey peptic ulcer, i like your name!!! I think you should've been more precise like gastric/duodenal ulcer :D
 
EAD renewed

Mine and my wife's EAD had the same expiry date : 01/18/03.

We applied for EAD renewal with the following details:

RD - 11/26/02
ND - 12/03/02
AD - 01/09/03 (Checked online at INS web site)

We are still waiting for the cards.

You should be getting your approval in a day or two.

Take it easy and Good Luck!
 
I am in the same situation...

You can work with your H1 job. However I would advise you to stop all other work until the EAD card comes into your hand. It may mean a few dollars less, but with the resumption of INS approvals, it's worth it....
 
this is what I have decided

thanks for all the replies.

I will ask my employer to file another H1b renewal petition next week just to be on safer side and will continue to work for my H1B
employer. I have stopped moonlighting till I get my renewed EAD card.

this H1b/EAD /AP issues are a gray area of immigration laws,depending on who you talk to there are different opinions about this issue.

more discussion are welcome.

for 485GCcase I think at this rate I will have esophago-gastro-deuodenal ulcer!
 
EAD => H1 !!

My understanding is once EAD is used, one will lose H (H1 & H4) status. Not sure if reverting to H1 status while AOS is pending is possible. May be your attorney may have exact solution??
