I have a valid 1 year OPT EAD card starting from Jan. 2009, and I started working with this OPT EAD one month ago. Recently I got the approval notice from my AOS EAD along with my I-485 application (dependent of my hu*****and's Eb1 green card application). My question is whether it was illeagal to use the OPT EAD to work before the AOS EAD card was approved? If the answer is yes and the OPT EAD was used instead of the AOS EAD, whether my I-485 application will be compromised and/or what are the other consequences? I am very confused as some lawyer says F-1 status is automatically invalidated as soon as the I-485 is filed so does the OPT EAD; while some others say as long as the AOS EAD/AP is not used, previous non-immigration status can still be valid. Also I noticed you mentioned " 而 OPT 要 USCIS 批才行，你的 OPT 申35831;被 denied 掉，一定不要感到很意外，因20026;你本就不35813;去申35831;的。可是，丌一批了呢？那你就用32610;" & "有同23398;不知怎厶回事儿，手上有20004;20010; EAD，OPT 的和 I-485 的。38382;老24072;用哪一20010;好，老24072;35828;用有效期38271;的" in your previous posts. If it's OK to use OPT EAD to work in the beginning, do I have to report my AOS EAD to the human resources when I receive the card--considering the fact that OPT holder pays less tax such as no social security and medicare taxes.
Thank you very much!
