Can I Still work?

[bravado 0]

Am here on R-1 visa that expires on July 14th.

My adjustment of status is in process right now. Going for biometrics today. Just sent off a RFE (forgotten passport photos) for my EAD.

Question is - can I still legally work while all this is in process?

Not in the period between the time your visa expires and you get a new EAD, no.

I have made an Info Pass appointment to speak to an officer about it. They said there is a chance a supervisor could get it adjudicated and give me temporary proof in my passport.

Please keep updating us about your appointment. One of my friend is also in the same situation and looking for info.

I went to Department of Homeland Security yesterday in Seattle.

Explained my case to the person at InfoPass. She passed it onto a Supervisor. Turns out there was a little issue with paperwork not being in one system but that's a minor detail. Supervisor contacted Nebraska, did a bit of troubleshooting and my file is now in the hands of an Officer to be adjudicated upon today (hopefully).
