Hi VJ members,

I just want to thank all the members for your help. I just mailed my package today. So now the waiting game begins.

My background is I came to the US as an F1 student. Graduated and worked at a company that's sponsoring for my H1B visa. I was married 6 months later to a US citizen and now i just submitted my application for AOS. However, today, I just received a notice from my employer that My H1B visa isn't looking so promising after USCIS requested for a 2nd RFE.

But my question is that my H1B isn't going to matter anymore if I receive my EAD from the I-485 application right? If that's the case, I guess I won't bother to submit the 2nd RFE anymore for my H1B. I'll just wait until i get my EAD from I-485 application.

Has anyone came across the same situation as me?

Adjusting from F1 student - greencard

12/16/2011- Married

03/15/2012- Finalizing AOS package I-130 and I-485.

That is correct, once you have your EAD from the I-751, it doesn't matter.

Technically speaking, once you have submitted your I-130/AOS via your wife and have received your I-797, then your H1B status means very little since you have now in "pending status".

You may also want to withdraw your work based AOS app as I'm not sure you can do both (work & marriage based AOS) @ the same time.

That is correct, once you have your EAD from the I-751, it doesn't matter.

Technically speaking, once you have submitted your I-130/AOS via your wife and have received your I-797, then your H1B status means very little since you have now in "pending status".

Unless he is currently authorized to work as a result of that H1B since the AOS (which is I-485 not I-751) doesn't give work authorization until after biometrics and then only if he also applied for EAD.
