Hello People,

I have filled GC on family basis. So, i have submitted AOS package in Nov 1st , 2013. My case is moving slow but the good thing is i have finally received my biometrics appointment for next week on I-765

I called USCIS as i was also waiting on biometrics for I-485, they told me its the same appointment.

Also, the USCIS officer ( level 2) told me that they have approved my I-765 till dec 2014 and they will release my card after my biometrics is done.

so, is that same EAD for employment?

I am on H1 right now, so, once i receive EAD card can i change my status?

Please, advise!!

Thank you!

You do not change status when you get the EAD. You change status when you get the green card.

The EAD simply allows you to work in the US. It does not change your status.

By filing the I-485, you are in a temporary protected status allowing you to stay in the US. Getting the EAD does not change that.

So, you are suggesting me not to change status from H1 to EAD with my employer?

More likely did not notice or does not know what a H1 is.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”
