Hi everyone,

Just filed for AOS from F1. Have been married to USC for almost 5 years. My I-20 (student visa) expires 7/26 (only a few credits left to graduate from my program which I can do online, so I'm no longer "enrolled"). I have a job at my school. Can I continue working past the I-20 expiry date while AOS is pending? Or do I have to wait to receive EAD (having filed I-765 with AOS packet)?

Thoughts?

Thank you everyone, this community is invaluable!

Thanks. It seemed that would be the case, seemed worth checking though just to make sure. Appreciate your input.

Ask your schools International Student office? You will need EAD either through OPT or through AOS. But some schools don't let you continue working on campus for certain jobs if you are not a student anymore.
