Is my EAD automatically active?

[quite_life]

Hi,

I have been working for a employer on H1B for the last 3 years.

Current Status: I got my Labour, I-140 approved and I-485 is waiting for approval. I also have got EAD - valid till Next November. I got all these through the same employer. My H1B Validity is expiring today. Haven't applied for H1B extension. And I haven't used my EAD so far with any other employer.

That's the background in a nutshell.

My Question : From tomorrow onwards ... am I on my EAD automatically OR are there any formalities - like informing the employer in writting/ taking any letter from the employer/ informing USCIS that I will be using my EAD from tomorrow etc. - that I need to complete to use my EAD and continue working on for this employer?

Appreciate your advise.

Thanks

Show the EAD to your employer. He might make you fill out a new I-9.

Once your H1B status has expired and you are not renewing it, you need to file a new I-9 with the employer, showing them the EAD. It is not automatically "activated"; you have to use it for an I-9.

Will send a new I-9 to my employer. Thank you all for the advise. -
