Okay ladies and gents,
2 questions:
Do you think that the 90 day work authorization is really worth it? (ie out of the way airport) possible con - you might have to quit your job after 90 days ; pros - might get you experience, etc.
AND
Has anybody here actually received the 90 day stamp AND managed to get their EAD within those 90 days? (Is that even possible?!) I'm kinda seeing it as a challenge...I don't know!

okay..third question (i lied) ...do potential employers frown on 90 days? what if you told them you'll get a more permanent one in the near future ...or do most not buy that?

If you find the right employer, it can work out.

My husband got the 90 day work authorization and worked for 10 weeks and will have the same job once he gets his EAD. So I would say it is work with. My husband said that he thinks it was worth it. It gave him something to do during the day.

My fiance got temp EAD and found a job in under 2 weeks of bieng here which is good because he can earn some money, get experience, and get out of the house!

Guess the information you have received may have answered your NY or Boston question!

Yeah, I think I'm gonna go for JFK. And I've been reading around here that I guess you can work on an expired 90 day work authorization as long as you filed for AOS and EAD.

I don't think this is true...

This information is not correct for the work authorization you get from the POE.

You can not work on a expired 90 day EAD.... whether you have filed for AOS or not....

You have to stop work when the EA expires and you can not start work again until you have the 1 year EAD or a Greencard.....

But is it not true that unauthorized work by the spouse of a U.S. citizen is forgiven?

neptune,

I'm not sure what you mean by this - the "90 day stamp" is an acceptable EAD.

neptune,

Depends on how lax the employer is in complying with the law that they document your EA status. They're not supposed to let you work if your EA has expired.

Yodrak





frndly,

It's not correct for any employment authorization - an employer is not supposed to have people working who are not employment authorized, and a person whose employment authorization has expired is not employemnt authorized (until application for new or renewal authorization has been approved).

Yodrak

I heard that it's possible to ask an extension-s, once it expires.
Anyone knows about this point?

There is no extension available for EAD...

Kezzie

Sorry everyone for all this confusion!
I had read this post last night and got exctied I suppose!

But I guess it's too good to be true, unless someone can verify otherwise

neptune,

Which post in the thread are you referring to?

Keep in mind that the interpretation of the law that 'counts' for any particular person is their employer's interpretation. Employers are the ones charged with implementing the EA verification laws, not USCIS employees and not VJers.

Thanks for the info Yodrak.
