How do people cope whilst they are waiting for EAD?

I'm kind of worried about not working for so long, what would you do to fill your time? I was made redundant in the UK and unemployed for 3 months before I had another job, and that was hellish for me.

I'm under the impression that you can't even volunteer without EAD, is that true? Can you enrol on courses?

Also, if you are a UK citizen, could you work from home for a UK company and be paid into your UK account without any recourse?

Thanks,

Steve

You can definitely volunteer!! It might prove a good way for you to make contacts and eventually land a job if you can volunteer in your field, or if not, at least you'll feel good about yourself and help the needy :)

As to the other two, I am not sure, so before I make even an educated guess, I'll wait for others. Good luck.
