  • EAD and OPT

    This is actually a follow-up query on my earlier post. My wife is currently on F1 and her OPT application through her F1 is pending. We want to also apply for an EAD through her pending 485. Will it be a problem if both OPT (through F1) and EAD (through 485) are approved?

    Thanks once again!

    Not a problem. But if she uses the EAD based on the I-485 she would be technically out of her OPT status, that is not a problem since she is now pending AOS, but if something happened and the application for AOS was denied she would not have a valid status to fall back to.

      Thanks!

      Her F1 would end by Dec 08 anyways, so I guess it is worth the risk. If indeed her 485 is denied, does she necessarily have to leave the country, or can she apply for H4 (I am on H1) while she is here.
