F1 student visa/Maried to a US citizen
Hello Lawfully family, I am so happy my cases I131, I765, and I485 ready to scheduled for interview. I got approved for OPT and I have EAD for both but the issue is OPT starts January but I have the I765 marriage based EAD. I talked with our PDSO and he said that I will stick to F1 visa rules and regulations until I get a greencard. Does anyone have the same case here? please advise.

Yes listen to your PDSO. Stay on F1 until u have your green card. As soon as u use the marriage based EAD your F1 automatically cancels.

I'm also on F1 visa doing post OPT right now, so yes your PDSO is right, you should stay with F1 until you get your green card or your current OPT expires as if you switch now to use the marriage based EAD, your F1 status will be canceled, and that is very risky

hi king, I am also on F1 visa. I am on OPT EAD. if you get your EAD then you can work on your GC EAD. I don’t see any problem in there.To my knowledge if you get approval for an EAD you automatically change in to the status whether you use or not. so I would suggest use your EAD once you receive.
