Hello,
My wife (a U.S. Citizen) and I were married in August of this year. I submitted my Employment Authorization Document (I-765) with my Adjust Status (I-485) documents and received a receipt date of October 12th, 2003 for both.
I was asked to have my fingerprints and biometrics taken, which I did on Nov 4th.
My H1B visa expires on January 4th, 2004. Is it necessary to have a new EAD in hand before my H1B expires? Or is having a pending EAD application sufficient to allow me to continue working past Jan 4th until a new EAD arrives.
(Apologies if this question is more appropriate for the H1B forum. I wasn't sure where it belongs.)
Thanks,
Paul
