Hello,

I am currently working as a Software Engineer for an Atlanta based company. I have a valid H1B until 01/28/2012 and a valid EAD until 08/18/2010. My EAD is tied to my current Software Engineering job description.

I am also pursing an MBA degree and recently received an interview request from a major Wall Street Investment bank. The bank is a recipient of TARP funds. In view of the recent hiring restrictions placed on banks receiving TARP funds, I would like to know:

1. If I were to receive an offer, would I be allowed to work for the bank based on my EAD?
2. If not, could I transfer my H1B to the bank and what is the time frame involved?
3. If I were to transfer my H1B, what would happen to my current EAD and GC application?

I need to respond to my interviewer at the earliest to confirm the interview spot, and so would greatly appreciate your prompt response. Please feel free to contact me on my cell phone: 678-575-6610.

Thank you for your help in this matter.

Best Regards,

- Abhishek.
