My STEM OPT is nearing expiration, and upon contacting USCIS, they advised me to present my marriage-based EAD receipt notice to my employer. However, my employer insists that since it is not in the same category as OPT, I am not eligible to continue working automatically and would need to be put on unpaid leave. Is this accurate?
Do you have marriage based approved EAD? A receipt notice is not an approval. What if the case is denied? Your work period would be illegal then.
Interesting. Ur manager should push for why they heck u cont work. And get transitioned to a different visa
Thank you for your take. Iโm just trying to figure out if someone has actually continued working with just the receipt notice
Aah it's just a notice. Then you might not be able to vs actual ead
