sravya.p Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 I am currently working on H1B visa. My spouse (US citizen) has filed for my Green Card I130/I485/I765 recently. I have received the receipt for 485 and 765. I have not received my employment authorization card/advance parole yet. I have been notified by my employer that I will be impacted by a impending layoff in my organization. I am worried about my immigration status after the layoff. In case I am not able to land a new job before the layoff, what will be my immigration status? I have been told that I will be in “485 pending” status as soon as the layoff is completed. Is this true? Quote Link to comment
JoeF Posted June 18, 2019 Report Share Posted June 18, 2019 The pending I-485 keeps you legal. Once the EAD is approved you can work anywhere. Quote Link to comment
