Is that how it is? I was under the impression that you could work any job that is willing to hire you....maybe I was wrong....baby_mde said:With an EAD you can only work in your profession ONLY.
Wrong.it seems you are a derivative and your wife is 'primary'.baby_mde said:Yes, I am positive. For example, I am software engineer and I got EAD through my wifes GC process. I can not work at McDonalds or Burger King. But I can work as software professional for any employer using EAD and that is what I am doing,
baby_mde said:If you do not believe that is fine. Talk to an attorney before you take any step.
Go to USCIS website and see you will the FACT.....

There seem to be bit of controversy about what kind of job you can do with your EAD.
Let me explain....
What kind of work solely depends on what the EAD is based on.
As for example:
If its family based c(9) category for example,you CAN work any type of jobs. You can work however, wherever you wish to ( as long as the job does not ask for greencard or citizenship)
Other example:
If its an opt or student based your employment HAS to be specific to your area of expertise. Which means you CANNOT work wherever you like to. You cannot work as a janitor if you are a software engineer even if you want to
P.S Having received both kind of EAD's I am writing form personal experience.
And also please make sure you are sure when you write a reply.......and if not be kind enough to mention that.
