"AOS 其實是非移民身份的一個 backup. 即使申請人的非移民身份丟了,也有 AOS 在兜底兒。所以,一旦遞交了 I-485,申請人是一般不會再有"黑"的機會了,直到 I-485 申請有了裁決。
唯一可能的違例,是非法工作沒有申請 EAD."
對此, 我還有問題請教:
1/. 我現在是L1 visa ( I-94 expiration date as Mar 20'2011). My understanding of your artical is that, even if I lost my job today (as L1 ), I still can stay until the final result of 485-filing . Am I correct?
2/. If I don't plan to find another job, I will just stay to wait for the 485 notice. Is this ok? Anything harmful to the 485 final result?
3/. When my I-94 card expiration date ( L1 ) passess ( for example, Mar 20'2011 ), my status will automatically be AOS status. Am I correct? Or do I need to do anything to be able to stay legally in the US?
2/. if I lost my job today ( L1), anything I need to do with my employer for my legal status? I'm trying to say, because my company lawyer is processing my GC / 485-filing, do I have anything to communicate with the lawyer or my boss before I leave the company?
3/. about the timing of EAD application, do I apply the EAD right after I lost my currect L1 job? Or can I apply the EAD at anytime I want, even after my L1 expiration date ( Mar 20'2011 on the I-94 )?
Thank you so much for your time and advice.
