F-1 OPT to AOS OPT

[dky001]

Hi all,

I'm married to a USC and we are sending all of the forms this upcoming week. I had a couple questions regarding the process and I was hoping someone could help.

I'm currently on an F-1 OPT after completing a doctorate degree and my EAD will expire in 9/2018. When I apply for a new EAD, does that make my current OPT EAD invalid, meaning am I not legally allowed to continue to work until I get the new AOS EAD? If this is the case, what is the best way to make sure I continue to be employed?

My USC spouse is a graduate student so she does not have any income at the moment. I make well above the necessary amount and included that amount with supporting documentation. Her father also filed an I-864 for me just incase as the only joint sponsor. Is this okay?

Lastly, I read in a couple posts saying that the supporting documentation for I-131 (AP) to explain how one qualifies for an AP is not required if filing through I-130 AOS. Is this true?

Thank you all for your answers!

Your existing EAD is not automatically revoked upon the issuance of a different EAD. Your current EAD remains valid until its expiry date until it is formally revoked or you fall out of F-1 status

for your last question, yes it is true I did not have any explanations and my I-131 was approved. I used it last month.
