90 day work authorisation

[xbordertraveller1 0]

Ok, so here is the responds from someone who lived through this...

"This is for everyone who says you have to stop working once your 90 Temp EAD expires"

NOT TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!

I..the immigrant got my Temp EAD at the Pacific Border Crossing in Blaine,WA on September 8th,2004

I applied for my SS# 1 week later.

I got a job 2 weeks later..

It's almost 2 yrs since that date and I am still working at the same job.

From the mouth of the Immigration officer..I can keep working even though my TEMP EAD expired as

my AOS had been filed and was being processed..[/font]

So, don't worry about, over analze it or stress about it..

I swear, I would have gone nuts if I couldn't work.. It was such a relief to get the EAD..

I hope this helps!!

Cheers..

HI Leanne,

thanks for that info. Most people really get stressed out and if you read some experiences than you feel better. :-)

Thanks for making this LOUD and CLEAR because I thought so but let myself be convinced otherwise when I asked this question in another post....

I was one of the refused ones at JFK (April this year), the guy was rude and acted like he had never heard of such a thing. I tried to push him (just a little, I know...) but no luck with that either of course... Well, that was my experience with that...

Leanne,

Point of clarification - you can keep working even though your EAD has expired as long as your employer does not realize, or does not care, that your EAD has expired. It's the employer who is responsible for keeping track of your EA status, and it's the employer who pays a penalty if they fail to do so and get caught.

As the spouse of a US citizen, your failure to maintain EA status while continuing to work is overlooked with regard to your adjustment.

neptune,

Keep in mind that other VJers have posted that they have been told just the opposite by USCIS officials.

Conflicting information comes out of the USCIS just as it does from VJ, especially on this topic where enforcement is not an area of USCIS concern. USCIS is only involved with processing the application, not with what comes afterward.

I still would not take any chances since you have nothing saying that you are authorized to work. I guess it is a personal justment call.

Yeah, I guess it's a draw! lol I guess there's no black and white rule on this one, just a grey legislative abyss.....

That and you've got to luck out with your employer!

I guess it's is everyone's comfort zone.

But, since I got confirmation from the immigartion agent processing my AOS application and since

my employer was not concerned about it, I just kept on working.

I just wanted to let everyone know what I went through...

That is all and good luck with all your processes..

Cheers!

Hi,

that's totally sad. I can not believe it. Looks like you had a really stupid guy.

Anyway you made it to the US.

Good luck for your future.
