Working for another employer with your approved EAD.
Hello guys,
Please help us out, my friend is in a dilemma. Ok, let me give you the background of her problem. She signed a contract with this traveling nursing agency that sponsored her EB3 (adjustment of status from F1 visa). She expedited her EAD and got approved two months ago. Unfortunately, the agency company has not been able to find her a place to work. As we know, traveling nursing is facing low demand as a result of declining census in the hospitals. Hospitals keep rejecting contract nurses sent to them. Now, my friend is in severe financial need and wants to pick up some PRN shifts or take a second full-time job with another agency while waiting for her employer to fix her up. She ran this by the manager and was told that it would affect her green card negatively.
How true is that claim please? Does working for another employer temporarily while waiting for your main employer have any impact on the green card? I don't know what to advise her since green card EAD is not restricted.
PLEASE HELP!

She should consult a lawyer and should not do anything that will negatively impact her GC.

I agree. I would totally pick up some PRN positions or do home health for extra money but still keep my full time position with the her sponsor. She needs to see a lawyer to give her legal and better advice.

if your I-140 is approved and your i485 is pending more than 180 days and have EAD too no need to worry you are fine to do another job just submit I-485j form with new employer!!

Thank you. But my question is more about having or starting a second job while waiting for your employer (agency) to fix you up with a facility.
