Pl. submit proof of your continuous employment authorization in the US from June 27, 2010 to the present
Such evidence may include copies of:

Employment authorization documents (forms I688 or I-766) granted to you by this service
Form I797 approval notices showing you were granted status in an employment authorized nonimmigrant classification and/or
copies of I94 arrival/departure records showing you were admitted to the US in an employment-authorized nonimmigrant status
----------------------------------------------

While in US, I always worked on employment authorized nonimmigrant classification or EAD.
The period when I had no employment Authorization documents (Sep 2012 - May 2014) is when I was out of US  and not working in US.


Q: will the gap of staying out of US for 3.5 years while 485 is pending, returning to US on valid L1 visa but from different employer and reactivating EAD/AP on pending 485 (renewed twice) after return make any negative impact to the case?
