EAD and length of stay in the company

[charlesjohn_in]

If I get my EAD, how long do I have to continue to work in my current company before I can move on to another company? Is it 6 months?

Also, if I have an EAD and am laid off, can I stay un-employed?

Thx!, CJ.

I don't think job tenure is tied to the EAD. There are lots of people who have to accept temporary jobs after getting their EADs because permanent work in the US is hard to find, and they're not breaking any laws because with the EADs, they are legally authorized to work.

And I think you can stay unemployed as long as you want and as long as you can afford it. You just cannot collect unemployment checks if you are not a resident.
