I am in H1B status with a pending I-485 application. I just received my EAD card based on my pending I-485. Do need to switch my work authorization to my EAD?
18 Apr 2024Answer
Generally, no. If you are maintaining H1B status, you are not required to start using your EAD, and you can keep the card as a backup. Once you start using your EAD, your H1B status terminates. And, in many, if not most, situations, we recommend that our client maintain their H1B status, when possible. (17.Apr.2024)
