HR Requested at work my case number from USCIS

[Ycats 24]

Hello all,

 

Recently, my husband's HR Representative at work had requested to know the information about his USCIS case number. We are in the middle of a marriage based AOS, so we thought it was a little strange for her to ask him this information. I personally did not trust to give it to her, because she did not inform my husband of why she wanted this information and it is something important to keep (at least I feel like it is something private that you should not be handing out just to anyone.) But anyway, we were wondering, if we did decide to give her this information and trust her with the confidentiality of it,  would there be any pros or cons? Has anyone ever had this situation before? 

 

Thank you for your time

I Don't see in your timeline an approval for EAD.

Is your husband allowed to work? Your husband can't work without EAD, the notice that they received the application does not allow someone to work.

Please give more details as to maybe the visa he came into the US on, if he's ever worked in the US prior, anything that might help because just based off your timeline it looks like he's working illegally.

Hello, he is currently working here on EAD through post OPT completion of University. He is able to work until February. I did not include that because it was not a part of our marriage journey but his own school journey.

My first course of action would be to ask the HR rep why she wants the information........

THe OPT runs out in February, 

so 

the HR Rep is trying to figure out IF your spouse will have ANY status after February, 

or 

enough status to actually still be employed at the firm. 

 

An AOS set was filed, did the two of you include the EAD application ? If no, submit one now into USCIS, it's free. [no additional filing fee] and it's awesome to have if'n yer spouse wants to work ANYWHERE after the OPT period expires.

Well, because your husband EAD expires in February, HR needs to make sure he can be legally working after that. And it's too late for filing H1B. In case they can't keep your husband, they have to start looking for a replacement. Hiring takes time. 

If you haven't applied for EAD,  do it now.

If you have already filed for EAD, get it expedited. 

If you already have the EAD, give it to HR so they can make an update. 

I think this is a simple and straightforward request. You're overthinking. What do you think she can do with just a case number? Applying for a credit card?

Yes, we applied the EAD card with our AOS package. Thank you for the advice. Have a nice day.
