hellp on employment

[p&c 0]

Hello,

I came to the US on a k1 visa got married and applied for AOS and EAD. I then got a job. My K1 visa will expire soon.

My question is can I keep working while hoping to get my EAD or must I quit when when I-94 expires?

If I continue working what kind of problem could I face with future dealings with USCIS because of that?

I will really appreciate it if any who has been in a situation like this or has an idea of what I could face could help me with any information.

Thank u all

Just get an extension to cover all bases.

p&c,

As a practical matter it's up to your employer as to whether or not you can keep working between the time that your K1 EA expires and you have new EA as an applicant for adjustment of status.

You shouldn't have any problems with the USCIS if your employer does keep you working. The employer might have some problems with ICE if they get audited.

SqdnGuns,

An extension is not possible. New EA on a different basis is requied.

Thanks Yodrak, I had no idea that was not possible.

SqdnGuns,

The end result is the same - become EA again - but the detail does make a difference in getting the application form filled out correctly.

Thanks Yodrak, I had no idea that was not possible.

Yo Yodrak!

Correct me if I'm wrong ! You are saying it's legally OK with USCIS to work after their K1 I-94 expires?

Only the employer may have problems?

Because you are married to a USC then any unauthorized work is normally forgiven by USCIS.... it is the employer who is leaving themselves open to trouble.....

USCIS cannot hold against you the fact that you illegally worked when adjudicating AOS if you are married to a US citizen.

I usually don't agree with backwards laws, but in this case, I'll conceed...

Thanks for the clarification. I was looking for that information in this forum.

Where can one find that information in the USCIS rules and regulations? Sorry but illegally working during the AOS process doesn't sit well with me.

Its in the Immigration and Nationality Act Section 245(c )(2).

To paraphrase: You will be denied AOS for illegally working, unless you're the immediate relative of a US Citizen. As a spouse of a US Citizen, you are an immediate relative, so they cannot deny your AOS for illegally working.
