F1 with expiring EAD - pending I-485/I-765 ... can I accept work?
Hello everybody,
My question is: Can I accept and begin a new employment while my I-485/I-765 (DV visa lottery) Adjustment is pending, given the following background info? Thanks so much for your thoughts.
1) I have just been offered a new full-time employment that is set to begin January 3, 2011!
2) I have a valid EAD card, based on F-1 visa post-completion OPT, which is valid 01/06/2010 - 01/05/2011.
3) I am a 2011 diversity visa lottery selectee, found eligible to adjust status.
4) I filed I-485 along with I-765 on October 1, 2010 when my visa number became current (I am EU citizen with visa number 3000)
5) Completed Biometrics November 22, 2010
6) Have not received a new EAD card
