Expired k1-90days EAD and a job offer presently...

[Ade 0]

Hi Everyone.

i arrived in the united states in july, on a K-1, i am inbetween status as my temporary EAD of 90 days had expired. before the expiration of my 90days EAD, i applied for a job online in october. i was offered a temporary position for the christmas season. My concern now is, can i take the job as i actually applied before the expiration of my documents or i have to wait till my i-485 goes through? i already have my SSN and presently, i need to support my wife as things are abit low financially. i will be very grateful if someone can advice.

Thank you all>>

I could be wrong, but from what I understand it does not matter when you apply for the job, what matters is what dates you EAD say. If it is expired you are not allowed to accept that position and if you are already working, you are supposed to quit/take vacation until you new EAD is approved (and possibly in you mailbox/hand)

You work permit doesn't have anything to do with your I-485 unless you get a RFE from what I can understand, that will delay that too. You have to wait for your I-765 to go through, not just you I-485.

I wouldn't suggest you work on an expired EAD - the penalty can be quite high from what I understand.

You can work if you have current authorization.... If you do not then you cannot...

Your initial authorization period expired probably sometime in October

Thanks alot for your response, my initial authorization expired on 9th of october, i have applied for the AOS including EAD and AP i have received the i-797 ( notice of Action) twice, i had a recent one for the i-485 stating my application have been transfered to the california service center from Chicago Illinois. Dose that mean the whole processing will start from the transfer date for another 3 or more months?

Your I-485 transferred to CA but your EAD is still in Missouri... they adjudicate separately.... and the transfer of the one does not change the other
