i just filed my I-130, I-485 and I-765 end of october. can i work as a volunteer for an international ngo while waiting for my EAD and AOS approval? or do i need to apply for a nonimmigrant diplomatic visa (wc is needed for non-citizens and non-LPRs if i want to volunteer there)?

DON & SADIE

our story, basically (from Celine Dion's song:

Don't know much about your life.

Don't know much about your world, but

Don't want to be alone tonight,

On this planet they call earth.

You don't know about my past, and

I don't have a future figured out.

And maybe this is going too fast.

And maybe it's not meant to last,

But what do you say to taking chances,

What do you say to jumping off the edge?

Never knowing if there's solid ground below

Or hand to hold, or hell to pay,

What do you say,

What do you say?

Oh yeah it is love at first sight.

so far, our sweet and short timeline:

10/29 I-130, I-485, I-765 sent

11/06 I-130, I-485 and I-765 touched

11/07 checks cashed

11/09 NOA1 for I-485, I-765 and I-130

11/29 Biometrics

11/18 RFE1

12/18 Mailed response to RFE1

12/21 I-485 touched

01/23 I-765 touched

01/31 EAD card received

now applying for SSN...

If it is a position that would always be volunteer work and unpaid, then yes, feel free to volunteer. Volunteering would only be a problem if the position is normally paid. This info is true as long as the international ngo does not have any other additional requirements, but you could find that out by contacting them. :)
