OPT while AOS pending
Hello all,
I applied for Adjustment of Status through marriage to US citizen in March 2018 while on F-1 visa. I also filed for AP and EAD with that application. I am currently waiting for the interview to be scheduled (as of 5/22/18). No update on EAD status so far.
I am graduating in August 2018 and was wondering if I can apply for OPT authorization while my EAD through AoS is pending? I have heard conflicting information about whether that is allowed or not (since some believe that by applying for AoS you are giving up your current non-immigrant status and others believe that the status only goes away when AoS is approved). Does anyone have any experience with this? I am trying to make sure I am able to get a post-doc position for my career. Please help with any information you may have, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!!
