Hi all,

Let's say you are an F-1 or H-1 holder, and you applied for AOS and EAD.

I am just wondering when you dont have to keep your visa status anymore? When you got EAD or once you submit your AOS? I know for instance you can only work for your H-1 sponsor before getting your EAD, but does it also mean that you cannot quit your job?

Just curious..

About someone being here on an H1B and then applying for AOS, I personally know someone who has done that....and he continued working for his H1b sponsor while his greencard application was pending....that's what they call dual intent.

Do I understand it correctly: Once you get your NOA1, you are a "pending immigrant", which lets you stay here.. It means if you dont want to, you dont have to keep your other visa status to stay..

Thanks Silke.

Just to support this point of view I am using an immigration attorney who confirmed to me that the issuance of the NOA1 is the flag that nullifies my existing O-1.

My O-1 effectively became canceled at that point and I am considered 'in-status'.
