Hi there,

I have applied for AOS and just got word that the funding for my job was cut and I should expect to be jobless on Sept 1. My I-94 expries in January but I really need to keep working. I may have found a job that starts Sept 1 but that is about two weeks later than I have been to to expect my EAD authorization. Any advice out there? Does anyone know if there is a process to apply for accelrated EAD processing? I am very scared about losing my job and the impacts it could have on my life here. Thanks to anyone who can offer some thoughts...Borealgirl

Hopefully you will get your EAD before September 1st. You could contact your congressional office and explain your situation. My EAD was expedited with the help of a congressional aide.

I think some Congressional offices are not even aware that an EAD can be expedited. It's one of those hard to kill urban myths.

This is JUST CONJECTURE. If i'm incorrect about this, someone please correct me...

I was under the impression that once your AOS had been filed, your status is changed to "Pending" and that you are allowed to remain in the US pending the completion of your case. I was told that once you file the paperwork, your previous status is no more.

Unless I totally misunderstood... and you're just referring to remaining at work. If so, sorry about that! :)

Thanks for your responses. I may see about my local congressional office...The congressman is good old John Hall (of Orleans) and is a really nice guy.

My concern is about starting work, as teaching jobs only start at the beginning of September.

Cheers!
