I would appreciate if anybody shares their experiences "On Bench / No Pay when I-485 is pending"

My 140 is approved one year back & 485 is pending for more than one year. I am currently on i_485 pending status (No valid H1). I got lay-off last week. What is the "reasonable" period to stay on bench/no pay/unpaid vacation to find a new job.

Appreciate your thoughts.

Hope your EAD is still valid - find a new job ASAP. There is no definition of the "reasonable" period. The good thing is that you are still in status and allowed to find a job (AC21) since your I-485 is pending for more than 6 months. Good luck!
