Hi guys,
Thank you for taking your time answering my question. I apologize if my questions sound prude, but I'm trying to learn as much as I can from the Forum.
I am on F-1 EAD after I graduated from college. My wife and I got married in September, and we mailed on 10/25/05. So far we only have the receipt, and my OPT is running out in 3 weeks.
I'm wondering what I should do. I have a lawyer, but he is of little help. I am working at a job I absolutely love and hate to lose, I don't want to cause any problem for my company or anybody.
Questions:
1. What should I do to expedite my process?
2. I have an InfoPass appointment on 1/20/06, should I get an iEAD? If so, what documents do I need? What do I have to bring?
3. What happens if my F-1 EAD runs out on 1/31/06 while my iEAD is pending (assuming I file for iEAD on 1/20/06 during the infoPass appointment and my EAD is also pending? Can I still work? If I can't work, can I take a leave of absense? Would leave of absense void any legal problems for my company?
Here are my basic info so far:
F-1 since 1996
Graduated from college on 1/27/05
F-1 OPT begins on 2/1/05, ends on 1/31/06
Married to USC on 9/2/05
Mailed I-485, I-765, I-130 on 10/25/05
RD - 11/7/05
ND - ???
FP - ???
EAD - ???
Thank you in advance for all the suggestions and comments.
Best regards,
Jimmy
