Hi,

 

I am here on a J1 that expires mid-April. I got married to my US husband and will be applying for a green card as soon as I receive the final J1 waiver. I would like to continue working, but I've read that they don't give you work authorization until 90 days after you apply for the gc. 

Someone mentioned to me that if you're in the US on a work visa, you apply for the green card and your visa expires while your gc application is still pending, then they are required to give you the word authorization when your work visa expires. Can someone confirm this? It sounds somewhat too good to be true. 

 

Thanks a lot!
