I am currently on my work visa (H1B) and haven't received my EAD card yet. It has been almost 6 months since I sent my concurrently filed applications. I have already had a service request put in for all the applications earlier this month.

My concern is whether I can switch jobs with my application pending? My wife is the USC but my income is the primary income in our household. The new job will mean a significant pay increase but my applications all have the details of my current employer.

 

If i switch jobs, do i have to update USCIS about the change? Will that cause further delay in my processing? Kindly advice. Thanks

Without the EAD, you can change jobs only with H1B transfer. If you are doing that, no issue.

I will not be changing jobs with H1B transfer, rather I would apply for expedite EAD with the offer letter and start new job only after getting my EAD. I am more concerned about the employer details in my applications.

Your title of the post says “changing job without EAD.”

 

If you change jobs after getting EAD, no issues and no need to inform USCIS. During the interview, just bring updated i864 with all other employment stuffs like pay stubs, letter, etc, from the new employer. It won’t delay the process.

I am sorry for the misleading title. But thanks for the info!
