I have an EAD that I have never used. Have been working on H1B, but employment will come to an end in 2 weeks. I am hoping to have I-485 approved any time, but of course, you can never know. In such a case, is it OK for me to go job-less for few months without going out-of-status? or do I need to start working on EAD asap? Secondly, while being on EAD for how long can I go without a job in an year? It's kind of a crisis for us. Please provide your thoughts. Thanks.
