Working remotely for Indian employer using Green Card EAD

[v89]

I’m considering moving back from USA to India. I’m interviewing with companies in India and they want me to start working remotely from the USA before I physically move to India in a few months. I’m trying to figure out if I can legally work for an Indian company while I’m still in the US.

I’m currently on H1B. I 485 is pending and I have an approved Green Card EAD/AP. I’m aware that the H1B is tied to my current company. But I’m wondering if the Green Card EAD will allow me to work for an Indian employer from the US.

Yes, your Green Card EAD allows you to work for any employer, including an Indian company, while you're still in the US. Since your I-485 is pending, it's best to maintain your H-1B status with your current employer (if possible) to avoid complications. But the EAD gives you the legal flexibility to work for the Indian company remotely.
