Switching from STEM OPT EAD to GREENCARD EAD
I am currently on STEM-OPT and have recently applied for an adjustment of status through an EB-3 green card sponsorship. I have both a STEM-OPT EAD and a new GC EAD issued as part of my green card application. However, I missed a required report for my STEM-OPT, which I'm concerned could affect both my F-1 status and my green card application. Given this situation, would it be advisable to start using my green card EAD to transition away from F-1 status, thus potentially mitigating the impact of the missed report? What are the risks of switching to the green card EAD now, especially if my green card application faces complications or delays? I'd appreciate your guidance on how to best handle this situation to maintain lawful status.

CASE APPROVED 🙏🏽
it’s been quite a journey but we finally got our case approved after our interview on the 11th. The officer told us right away. I was asked to go in first and my wife joined me afterwards. she asked me quite a few questions and based on my response she did the same when my wife joined. you know specifics etc while I stayed silent. some questions she asked: How did we meet where and why the last movie we watched together what we did for each others birthday/anniversary If we’ve met each others family. sibling names of any and if any were at our wedding. Also where they resided. if we had any kids etc, we have a dog so she asked questions around that. who drove to the interview and the colour car etc. where do we like to eat at and where did we last travel together some silly ones like what are the colors of our toothbrush 😂 *****Funny enough we left our phones at home we weren’t sure if we were to carry them. The officer however, did ask if we had them on us as she would like to have a Quick Look. I was a bit nervous but the officer we got was very laid back, nice and straight forward. I loved to read the stories of others on this app while it helped me to prepare so I chose to share this bit. #finally
