I am on OPT, will expire next year. So, I am planning to apply just for TPS this month and EAD through TPS in Jan, 2016. Do you guys think it's a good idea cause I also want to maintain my status (F-1). And I believe that I can apply for h1b as well or change of status later? I hope it will NOT affect my TPS decision if I just plan to apply for TPS without EAD?

If I don't file EAD now and will file later then what to pick for this question "are you also filling for employment authorization?" If I pick "no" then will I be able to apply for EAD later on or should I just leave it blank?

Guys please let me know if you have any suggestions. I will really appreciate.

Thanks in advance
