H1B is getting expired and EAD not yet received based on Pending 485

[raj1974]

My 140/485/EAD/AP is filed at Nebrasaka center with prority date 06/08/2011 under EB1C category.

My current H1B expires on 07/31/2011.

As per Attorney , I can not work after 07/31/2011 until i received EAD. My queries are :

1. Can i work from Home and give continue support to my offshore based team as a volunter support. As per law, i can not go to client places and work after 07/31.My employer is planning to remove me from Payroll also.

Is volunter support is allowed until i get EAD ??

2. Can i start working at client places again once i see EAD approved in USCIS site or should i wait till i get physically EAD ? Generally how much time EAD approval will take and how long it will take to deliver to home ?

3. What is current processing time for Finger printing ? My case is filed 35 days before but still waiting for Finger printing letter from USCIS ? Can i call USCIS and create remedy ticket to expedite this.

Thanks in advance for your immediate reply.

Regs,

Please ask your Lawyer about these questions.

1. NO.

2. Physical EAD or depends on your employer.

3. Weeks.?

Your company can file H1-B renewal in Premium Processing so that you don't have to sit a long time without working.

We got our finger-printing appointment approximately 1 month after filing 485/EAD/AP. Also, got EAD/AP in exactly 3 months after filing.

Of course, we filed at Texas Service Center.
