With new amendments in S386 everyone should be eligible to file for EAD. For all intrinsic purpose this gives benefits equivalent to green card except early path to citizenship.

@ROW this sounds win win to me, what's your reason for still opposing this bill?

    OK guys I posted this on other thread but I will post it here too. please let me chime in to demystify the whole EAD thing real quick. I just consulted a lawyer and also did some researched on some Chinese forum. It turns out that EAD thing is not as good as we think. The amended bill, if passed, allow people to apply for a Combo (EAD + Advanced Parole) upon i140 approval. EAD could allow you to change job more freely while the AP can allow you to travel in & out of the state more freely. However, they both have restrictions:

    1) under section 106(c), when we use i140 bound EAD to search for jobs, the new job must be similar as the one in I-140 Petition. That means we cannot do Uber or Starbuck. We still need to work in IT

    2) every time you change job with EAD, your new employer need to file I-485J. Though it’s just a form, not every employer wants that extra trouble.

    3) If you become unemployed for a long time (over three months or something) whole holding Combo, though you will not be deported right away, you will get rejected on the day of I-485 adjudication eventually and kicked out of US

    4) Using AP to get into Us will automatically trigger secondary inspection. It will cost you a couple more hours (but I think that’s not a big trouble here)

    5) That’s the most scary one and also unverified. AP and EAD, the first time you choose to use either of them, you will automatically give up H1/L1 and switch to AOS. That means, during the long waiting period, if by any reason your i485 is revoked you will be immediately out of status

      Thanks for the explanation! Might need a little more elaboration on 5, what is the definition of “use AP or SAD”? Did you mean that if we decided on changing jobs/traveling abroad would that be the first time EAD/AP be triggered or used? For 3, is the three months unemployment period accumulative or just referring to an interval between two jobs.

      1. That’s okay, H1B has the same or much higher risk. 2. Filing I-485J is definitely much better than H1B transfer for the employer and the employees. Normally H1B transfer would take over a month and you can’t just leave upon the receipt of the H1B. 3. Why are you doing that? 4. That’s no big deal as you said. 5. The new policy is to allow you getting the combo card before filing the i-485, you’ll have nothing to be revoked while you are waiting in line, this nothing to lose. That saying exists because nowadays the i485 is filed before the combo card can be applied.

      Yo NVIDIA are you really that naive to believe in Modi? You know how much tax income India will loose if Indians migrate to USA easily? Modi and Trump don’t want Indians on either side. They want them in transit for long time. It benefits both countries

      He hasn’t even spoken against h4 EAD yet. I’m not concerned on this. He won’t sign but won’t veto it either.
