EAD?

[Chynna/gapamix 11]

Hi VJ,

Can my hubby accept a job position while filing for EAD. I haven't mailed out the AOS and EAD yet but he has been offered job position. His social security card is in but says " authorize to work only with permission of Homeland Security"...

As far as I know, he won't be able to perform paid work until he has EAD or GC in hand.

You have to file for AOS and EAD first, and after your biometrics you can file for EAD expedite based on job offer. You will have to provide proof of job offer to USCIS.

Hello

The answer is NO. You have to have the approved card in hand before you can accept a Job offer or work.You have several months from date of filing before you get the card. The note on the SS Card tell the HR Dept that he needs EAD or Green card to work.

He cannot work until he has the actual EAD in his possession. The EAD is the necessary work authorization from Dept. Homeland Security mentioned on his SSA card.

Ohhhhh well that stinks. But makes sense. I better get to mailing that package then. Thanks G Walters for answering my question.

Years ago I was on a TN and applied for the greencard. As part of this was issuance of the EAD. I was caught in the unfortunate scenario in which my TN was about to expire but the applied-for EAD had yet to arrive. One morning I took a two hour drive to the closest immigration center and applied, given the above, for an EAD in person. I cannot remember now exactly what process I used, but I ended up getting an EAD issued to me that very day. My original one came through about two weeks later in the mail anyway, but I wonder if it's available to you a similar scenario. I was employed at the time and this allowed me to be legit without any hiccup in authorization.

This is worth a try. I like the idea of just going in and trying to apply in person. Thanks

Make sure you know under what rules you're doing it, though. I definitely went in because I knew it would work. I just can't remember the exact process. It may be that if you have submitted the EAD application and are still waiting for adjudication you can force their hand and make them adjudicate right away. It was ten years ago and my memory isn't fantastic

Lol thanks. I have to actually mail in the EAD and AOS tomorrow. I guess he will have to wait a little longer to go to work. School will be the goal for now then.
