H4 EAD renewal takes 11 months and I am in my 3rd month. Have to be without a job for 8 months.

Don’t want a break in my career so looking for consulting TPM jobs for interesting startups or Non Profits as a volunteer opportunity (aka no pay)

Same thing happened in 2017 while I waited for my spouse’s I140 and it drove me to depression doing nothing valuable

Great recommendations from clients on LinkedIn and references available

Please help with referrals if you can!

I am a vendor at MS not FTE #tech #referral #nonprofit #startup

  • Also quite a few folks at Microsoft are getting EADs around 6-7 months time frame so it’s speeding up. Dun lose hope

    H4 EAD is being processed much faster these days (within 6 months). Try to expedite as well.

  • Be careful OP. Volunteer jobs can only be those jobs that are typically done by volunteers. U can’t just do sth without pay which would in other cases be a paid position

      This is was I was trying to say in above thread. TPM cannot be volunteer work.

    Be careful with volunteering route. I was told by attorney that one can volunteer only in those jobs where there is no expectation of payment.
