EAD through F1-OPT or marriage based AOS
Hi friends,

I am graduating in 3 months with a STEM degree. I got married with a USC a month ago. I have a job lined up which has a flexible starting date (preferably late-August).

I am wondering if I should apply for EAD through my F1-OPT or with the marriage based AOS. From the experiences I have read here, it seems that marriage based EAD takes about 5-6 months on average. So I believe it would be better to apply through the F1-OPT(?) since it takes only 3 months.

Will it affect my AOS application in future in any negative way?

Thank you.
