Can a person apply for EAD only after approval of I-485?
What happens to a H1B holder, if I-140 and EAD is approved and later I-485 is denied? Will the H1B status reinstated or leave the country?
Is it a wise idea to take EAD before I-485 approval?

i think its wise to remain in h1b and not use ead. approval of 485 means u are done with the process

xbox - you mean apply for EAD, Get EAD but not use it??

why you need EAD after I-485 approval?

Once you have Green Card you are free to work. No need of EAD.

If your I-485 is denied, all your pending application is denied as well. If you are in H1B, and didn't use EAD to work, H1B will be vaild until its valid period.

Hope this helps.

Hey guys, a friend of mine has worked with his SS while under F1 withouth EAD. It shows cleary on his W2s that he has worked off campus. What are the consiquences? do you think he can follow the path, EAD, H1, till GC? or he will have problems. any suggestions??please share...

MOST OF THE PPL IN F1 FOLLOW THE SAME ROUTE, NOTHING NEW

thanks Laborperm, but don't you have to submit the tax returns when filing for h1 or adjustment of status???

If this would be the case, then must have been approved from senate and house to put restriction on legal immigration

For H1, I did not have to submit any tax papers.

Hello guys/gals,

I am about to file I-485 with my lawyer. My lawyer has asked for 3 years of Tax Returns (W2s). As a student, for two years I worked with my SSN without any work permit. So now if I give the W2s to the lawyer, will I get into trouble?

I know before many students work off-campus without any work permits and filed their GC and they got it. At that time, it took 3-5 years to get GC through company so all the work they did outside was not necessary to show. But now GC process is faster than before.

Has anyone been in this type of situation and got GC? How did you handle the W2s?

In advance, many thanks for your valuable feedbacks.
