H1B and Marriage Based-Green Card
So I am currently on F-1 status, and I am authorized to work through my STEM OPT period which is going to expire on March 11th, 2021. I married my partner last summer in June 2020, and we filed for my green card application the following September 2020. Got the receipt notice on early October 2020. I still haven't heard back from USCIS. Just today, my employer offered to sponsor me on a H1B, since they do not want to lose me and they said my EAD through marriage could take many more months to process as opposed to the H1B which apparently is moving relatively quickly according to the company's attorneys. I just wanted to ask: If I decided to go along with it and let my employer file a parallel H1B application on my behalf, will this affect my marriage-based Green Card application that is already processing since September 2020? Thanks

EAD status on USCIS websites hasn’t been updated since January 2020
I applied for greencard and EAD. I received a notice receipt for both, but for EAD the website didn’t update anything else besides “we sent you a receipt” and that was back in January 2020. Whereas, for AOS around April, they said my case is ready to be scheduled for interview. The thing is when I applied, I already got an EAD from Optional Practical Training, which is granted by my school. But now that it expired, I still didn’t hear anything back, despite submitting a outside of normal processing time request on the website. What should I do?

Verification by uscis?
People who have submitted documents for expedite - does USCIS cross verify the proof submitted? Any experience? Thanks

New EAD
I was married to a USC and filed I-765 along with other applications on July 2020 to NBC, and I had my biometric appointment on Jan 8, 2021. But I'm still waiting for USCIS to approve my EAD and I already had 2 job offers waiting for me and I was out of job for 8 months. Anyone has similar experience or successfully expedited their EAD recently?
Thanks a lot for the help here!

EAD Renewal
I am currently working on L2-EAD expiring in May 2021. My spouse L1 would be filed for extension soon. Once his extension is applied, can I submit my renewal based on receipt notice or need to wait for my spouse's L1 and I539 approval to be completed before filing EAD extension?
Also, can L2 EAD be filed in premium processing?

Renewal EAD is produced within a month
Hello All!
I am a Seattle filer for Marriage Based Green card.
I filed all my paperwork on 12/19/19 and I received my initial EAD on 5/24/20.
I am still waiting for my interview, however, when I applied for the EAD renewal since my initial EAD is set to expire this year on 5/24/21, my card is being produced within 3 weeks of filing the paperwork.
USCIS received my paperwork on 1/12/21 and I see the notification on the USCIS website which stated " On January 29, 2021, we ordered your card to be produced. "
Just wanted to let you guys know but please make sure to file your renewal paperwork on time cause you never know.

EAD taking longer than expected. What options do I have?
Hi! I'm married to a USC, and we submitted my green card application package (I-485, I-130, I-131, I-765) last September 2020.
I’m currently authorized to work through my STEM OPT status which is set to expire in March 11th 2021. I got the receipts of my green card application (I-797C notice of action) in early October 2020. However, I'm getting nervouse since it's almost February and I still have not received my biometrics appointment -or most importantly- my new EAD card.
So again, my current EAD is going to expire in March.
Does the Notice of Action extend my previous EAD by 180 days or because they are not in the same category (C03C vs C09) I am basically screwed and will not be able to work?. Is this normal or do I have enough reasons to be concerned? What options do I have in terms of calling USCIS and put in a request to expedite my case?
This is my timeline:
Thursday 9/17/20 - Package shipped
Monday 9/21/20 - Package received at USCIS
Friday 10/2/20 - Check cashed out
Sunday 10/4/20 - Notice Date
Monday 10/5/20 - Text notification received
Tuesday 10/13/20 - Notice Received
Nothing since then...
