I am currently in H2B status and it is about to be expires (6/30/10). I am a spouse to a US Citzen, I've filed for my I-485 and I-130 on 6/15/10, i've received my NOA and my question is can i still work with my current employer while my I-765 is pending? Can i use the NOA as a proof that i filed for employement authorization?.

I really need you help on what to do because i really don't want to stop working (love my job).

Thanks-a-million for your advice.

*** not a cr-1 issue, at all - moving to Adjustment of Status from Work, Student, & Tourist Visas forum ***

No - you actually have to have the employment authorization to work.

You can call USCIS (or your congressperson) and request authorization to be expedited, which could help you get it sooner, but there are no guarantees.

FWIW, you can work when you have status.

Applied for Adjustment-of-status, alas, is not sufficient to work.

You might have some wiggle room on the expiration date on the H2-B, check in with the company's HR department, see what they say about it ?
