Hello,

I'm currently under OPT (exp May 31, 2008) I read on USCIS.com about a 17 month extension of OPT for highly skilled foreign students. After I read all the requirements, I think I'm qualify for getting that extension.

My fiancee (US citizen) and I are getting married this week and after that I'm gonna apply for AOS and EAD.

My question is if I get granted for that 17 month OPT extension, can I use that OPT extension OPT to work while I'm waiting for my EAD to arrive(EAD that I'll apply under AOS) and while my AOS is being processed?

Thank you

Hi,

I'm currently under OPT (exp May 08). My fiancee and I are gonna get married in April 08 and I'm gonna apply for AOS and EAD afterwards. I was wondering is it legal to volunteer working without getting paid (on the same workplace I work now) before EAD is granted?

Thank you

Hello,

I'm currently under OPT (expired on the end of May 08). My fiancee and I will get married in April 08 and I will apply AOS afterwards. The question that I have is do I need to apply for new EAD or I can just renew the EAD that I already have now? If I need to apply for new one, there will be a time that I cannot work (from June 08 till I get approved for my EAD), but I need to work to support my future wife. Can someone get permission to work from USCIS before EAD (applying under AOS) is approved?

Hello raymaga,

Thank you for your reply. I have few more questions I'd like to ask.

1.) For my full time job. Does it need to mention about full time basis?

2.) For my part time job. Does it need to say permanent or temporary position?

Do I need to say part time and my hourly pay rate for my part time job? My other employer already gave me an employment letter, but it doesn't say permanent basis, is it gonna be ok or I need to get another one?

Hello,

I have questions about employment letter that I need to submit for AOS. I have 2 jobs, one is full time and the other is part time. Does the letter need to say if I work full time or part time? I got paid hourly on the part time job, do I need to write the hourly rate?

Thank you
