1-485, 1-765, SIJS, Visa Juvenil. Work permit expires soon.
I'm scared guys🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
My currently EAD expires August this year. (I was granted it from SIJS) but the frame time ends this year with it as swell.
My priority date is December 9 2021 from SIJS and Thanks
God I was able to apply this year when the bulletin Visa jumped all those years.
So, I know my EAD expires this August but I already applied to my new EAD c9 but with the new rules I can work with my new EAD until I get it physically and not like before if you applied before it expires you still had 1 year to keep working like that until you get your new one.
I'm scared because my deferred action ends this August and with that my deportation defense. If ICE detains me they can still hold me until my 1-485 is approved and all that stress me out.
So, I applied for the I-765 and I-485 already and I have receipt for both, and for the I-765 I didn't need to do the biometric again(they reused them) but for the I-485 l am going to do it the next week.
I applied for both things and uscis received on may 8th. (my current one is category c14 and the new one will be c09) but the question is:
-Can I still working with my old EAD if I haven't got my new one yet? (expires this August and I applied on may8th)
-My lawyer's paralegal says it depends of my employer if he wants to keep me working like that. But I'm scared I can have problems with USCIS for keep working with my EAD expired while waiting for my new one.
-I spoke with my employer and he says he doesn't have a problem bc I'm just waiting for my new one and shouldn't be a problem with HR but idk.
-Anybody had a problem like that?
-My plan is to do Uber of DoorDash if in any case I can't keep working until | get my new EAD but all this is driving me crazy

Hey! I totally understand how you feel. My situation is actually even more complicated. My SIJ is already approved, but I don’t have deferred action or a work permit yet, and I still can’t file for my green card because my priority date isn’t current.
Right now I’m doing DoorDash to get by. Technically, it’s unauthorized employment, but SIJ applicants are generally exempt from the adjustment bar based on unauthorized employment, so it’s treated differently than in many other categories. Of course, everyone should discuss their own case with their attorney.
If I were you, I’d just do DoorDash for now if your regular job becomes an issue. Also, try not to stress too much about ICE. Even people with valid visas have been detained recently in some cases, but that doesn’t automatically mean they’ll be removed. Since you’ve already filed your I-485 and are waiting for your green card, you’re in a much stronger position than a lot of people.
Stay positive. I really think you’ll be okay. Good luck! 🙏
