You are already authorized for employment. Even if you the EAD gets lost - you are already authorized for employment. If you really needed to show proof right this second, you could call USCIS in the presence of your employer and have the representative verify that you are authorized to work.

New Card being Produced!!!

I got my case expedited through assitance from a US Connecticut Senator and now my card is being produced.

I am very much relieved now!

Congratulations!!!!!! I just got that notice myself and it caught me off guard!
I guess getting help from the Senator really helped!

Informed delivery

This might be a stupid question... but how does informed delivery work?
Is it for all mails that I receive or just USCIS?

If you register for informed delivery on usps website.you can check any mail coming in your way through an app, that way you wont miss on any.it shows any mail coming to you along with the route its from from.

I see.. so it is going to say something like from USCIS for my EAD?
Thank you for your response!

July filer - need help

Hi guys! I posted on the June filers thread but did not get an answer. im trying here because you guys are more active, and offer a lot of help. I usually do not comment, but always read your comments and im very happy every time I see someone getting an update, we are all in this together.

My questions:

I applied to adjust my status on July 18th. I am currently a F-1, but im about to graduate in December. My school is asking me to apply for my OPT ASAP, but I prefer to wait for my I-765 to get approved. What are your thoughts?

Also, am I considered to be in the US legally, after I graduate (my F-1 is of course conditional to me being at school), if my I-485 is pending?

I am adjusting my status under the Cuban Amendment Act (I was born in Cuba).

I really appreciate your comments. I know you are not lawyers, and I will probably contact a friend of mine who is a lawyer, but I still would love to hear your feedback. Sometimes we know more than lawyers as we are more emotionally involved in our cases, and probably spend hours on the USCIS site reading (I do).

Thanks!!!!

I can't answer some of your questions because I don't know but I was also a F1 student and got married after I graduated. If you are in the United States right now then you are legally here. However, you cannot leave the country or else you will not be allowed back in. I am even able to take online classes even though I terminated my F1.
I am not sure if you can transfer your OPT's EAD card once you get your I-765 approved, I'm sure someone in this forum can. BUT it does take a loong time to get the I-765 approved (mine took 3 months but some people wait longer).

I really appreciate your help. I sent my application in July, and already completed my BIO, hopefully I should get my work permit by the end of October or November. I just have anxiety (like probably all of you here), and don't know if I should apply for my OPT contemporaneously, I think it is a waste of money.

I have been applying for jobs, starting in January or June (to give me some time) and when asked I say I don't need sponsorship, because I wont.

I hope we all get our GC soon!!! this wait is horrible.

I am a July filer too and was a F1 student. I got married in May and I didn?t continue with my study for fall semester.

I don?t think it?s worth it either to spend the extra money for OPT when you can most likely to get the combo card by end of this year.
