@MTEVEREST I am sorry but i do not know it for sure. I am also looking for the answer. I would graduate pretty soon. and i am thinking that TPS EAD will be more beneficial than regular F1 EAD.. but i just wanted to know the situations in the long run using TPS EAD.. like filing GC or H1 on the regullar basis from F1 status. I will not be out of status in the meanwhile.. Will be obtaining my f1 status within that period of time as well
