Hi,

Hopefully you filed all sponsorship paperwork including petition for alien relative, adjustment of status application, employment authorization application, etc. concurrently. You should allow about 2 to 3 months for EAD (employment authorization document) to be issued after the sponsorship paperwork has been filed.

You must discontinue employment when H2B status expires until EAD has been issued.

You can contact our law firm at 212-268-3580 during business hours, or email [email protected] for additional guidance.
