aathap Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 Hi, First, thanks for supporting this forum where people can ask immigration related questions. Details - 1 - I am currently on my F1 visa (in opt). My employer has filed H1B for me which will come into affect Oct. 1 2014.2 - Pretty soon (Before Oct 1), I am getting married to a US citizen.3 - It looks like I will have to file for I-130 and I-484. USCIS will issue EAD (60 to 90 days)Question - I am planning to switch my company. Do I have to wait for the new EAD card (60-90 days) before I can switch my company ? Thanks for reading !

JoeF Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 You would need the EAD (or an H1 transfer) to work for another employer. Link to comment
aathap Posted July 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 You can work on the basis of H1 petition approval till you get your GC. @pontevecchio - I thought that the H1 petition is valid only for the current employer ? If I switch my company then it won't be valid ? Thanks Link to comment
