I-485, Ead?
So here's the deal. My I-485 got denied back in March, due to the
fact that our first marriage was on a Native Amrrican reservation and the second one didn't happent until 18 days after we applied for a green card. So the lady it the USCIS who interview us said there's nothing to worry about, just resubmit your new I-485 with the new marriage certificate. 3 days ago I finally got my denial letter (we sent the new I-485 a month ago, already got fingerprinted again and all) and it says I should leave the country within 30 days and that my EAD is no longer valid. Now the officer at the USCIS told me to disregard those letters when they come, because after resubmitting my new I-485 my status will still be pending. But she said nothing in particular about my EAD. I finally have a job after 2 1/2 years of waiting for that damn EAD and I don't want to have to quit it. Does anyone have any idea if it's ok to keep working? Thanks for all of you suggestions! |

I personally dont' think it's 'ok' to keep working--your current EAD is based on an application that's been denied and isn't valid. Why wasn't your ceremony on the reservation recognized? Nothing done to make it legal? |

Did you submit form I-765 when you submitted the new I-485? If you did not, you do *not* have permission to work until the new I-485 is approved. Period. End of story.

Doesnt "No Status" automatically implies you are out of status? |

Or, until her new I-765 application is approved, which would be based on her new I-485 application, correct?

Doesnt "No Status" automatically implies you are out of status? Out of status means a person arrived in the US legally but now is here illegally. For instance, if someone arrived on a tourist visa which was good for 6 months, but they're still in the US after 9 months, that person has been "out of status" for 3 months. ~ Jenney |

If he submitted a new I-765, then yes... that'd be right. Since he was questioning the validity of his original EAD, I'm guessing he didn't know that a new I-765 was required.
