Can I start selling online (etsy) with only a EAD (still waiting for greencard interview)?

Also can I use (apply for**) a trade name/DBA?

State: ND

Status: adjusting from K1, I have EAD, awaiting GC interview

 

 

I have been sharing my arts, crafts and designs to people from the different art communities have told me to set up a hobby shop on etsy and i was wondering if I could do this having only the employment authorization card  while not having my GC? I was also wondering if I could register a fictitious name since I don't want to use my first and last name? (E.g. GreenColor Designs or something) 

 

i couldn't find this on the official ND website.

 

thank you!!!

Of course you can, good luck.

Yes. Your EAD allows you to earn income while waiting for the green card.

 

Good luck with your new venture!
