I am no expert but my guess is you should inform your employer that you are no longer in L1 status. I can't think of any reason why notifying them would have an adverse effect on your job. You should be able to work as usual.

But notifying them is important because, let's say you are one of those non-resident aliens who are exempt from paying Social Security and Medicare taxes. As a LPR you are going to be required to pay those taxes so notifying your employer will allow them to update you in their system and get you started on paying those taxes. I'm pretty sure there are other reasons too but I just can't think of any more right now. But yea, I think you should tell them.

Good luck on your interview BTW. I was reading up about the Jacksonville office and it seems to have positive reviews so hopefully you'll have a smooth interview.

Thank you Yaadie. Appreciated your answer and I will inform my employer once my AOS is approved.

Yes, I am getting ready for the BIG day. Wish you good luck on your interview as well. I will update you on the progress.

Hi guys!

I just received a msgs that my EAD was sent to production.

My interview is next tuesday and I will probably not receive the card before the interview.

Do I need to return the card in the interview? What if arrive after? Do I need to inform this to them next week?

I am lost!

I have exactly same situation. My interview is on tuesday. And my EAD was sent to production yesterday. You will not get it before your interview. When your officer ask you about EAD just tell him (or her) that it is in production but you didn't get it yet.

Thanks!

I am printing the e-mail that i receive just in case.

I will bring with me during the interview.

But when we receive it after the interview, do we need to return to them? Or can we keep it?
