Hi. I got here in US with h1b visa. been on that visa for 5 years now. Couple of years ago i got married to a usc. We have started filing the adjustment of status just last week. My question is is it okay to work to another employer other than the one i hav the h1b visa on? Another question is can istay in america after my h1b expires since i am now married to a US citizen? Please advice.
 
You cannot work for another employer for whom you don't have H1b authorization, until you get your new EAD card as part of the application process.

After you start the adjustment of status, you can stay in the U.S. legally even if your H1b expires.
