stem OPT to GC EAD
Hi everyone Good evening!
I wanted to hear some suggestions or if someone have been in same situation before....
My wife is in H1B status and I am in Stem OPT.
My wife(as a main applicant) and me(as a dependent) Green card had been filed by our Employer last year in EB2-1 category.
Now our EAD has been approved.
Our Green card is currently in retrogression by a month.
Now My few concerns are:
1. Do I(dependent) still have to work for the same employer until I get GC? Or can I work elsewhere any job(as an example uber) or does it have to be OPT major related work?
2. since i have my AOS EAD, can i completely abandon my OPT EAD or have to make any update or inform USCIS about any EADs?
I hope to get some suggestions. Thank you alll!

No, if you choose to use your GC EAD, you can basically work on any job you would like. However, using GC EAD will

effectively invalid your status and OPT EAD. in case your green card is denied, you would have to leave U.S
