Hi,
Recently I got laid off from my company, I have got EAD and 180 days have been completed also.
What is my status?
Whether I am legal in this country or not, I never used my EAD, my H1B is going to expire by the end of Sep 2002.
Can I work part time using my EAD.
My Labor was approved for the post of software engineer.
I h ave heard that after 180 days I can switich to another company but nature of job should be the same, whhile hunting a job for the post of Software Engineer can I work somewhere else
as part time but not using my software skills.
My wife is currently using EAD as she is doing part time job.
I would really appreciate if you could answer my questions.
Thanks
Tushar
 
U R O.K

As long as you have applied for your AOS, you are okay untill the adjudication.

You can work with your EAD anywhere, technically.

If you get an interview/RFE f, then you might have to show the paystubs, employment letter, etc., if the RFE was for verification of Employment status. But only 1/1000 ( as I heard) gets an interview/RFE.

Otherwise, just relax ( but dont sitback) and strategize for job hunt in the jungle..

Good Luck..
