Hi all,

I am an F1 on OPT who got married to a US citizen this spring and filed for AOS on 11/1/2011 (I had my biometric appointment on 11/28).I am employed under my OPT but my work permit expires 01/09/12 and I haven't receive another one from my AOS filing.Will I have to stop working if I don't receive my EAD?Should I notify my employer or just let it slide? I would really appreciate any advice.Thanks

Do they still allow you to make an infopass appointment and get your passport stamped so that you can continue to work? BTW, it is up to your employer to re-verify your work status periodically, if that helps. EAD's generally arrived within a month or two after applying with the AOS.

You can't work if you don't have the EAD once your OPT expires. You may have it in time based on when you filed. It normally takes 2-3 months. Your other option is to request to have your EAD expedited which is sometimes possible with a written job offer in hand.
