thank you Punter bro for your info.. Here is my case though, I was in F1 status before. I applied asylum while maintaing f1 (OPT status). there is no gap in between them. My OPT expired 7- 8 months back, and after that, I appied EAD from asylum. You think i should go to recruiter and talk about it, may be!

I was in F1 status before..............................its means you have to maintain full 2 year status to join mavni because your status is gone. I appied EAD from asylum...................i know you can do many things with asylum pending EAD like making SS if you don't have one, Driver License,etc BUT holding a valid EAD with pending asylum is not enough to join mavni ................................... You think i should go to recruiter and talk about it, may be!.........................anyways its not bad talking to recuiter since its free of cost, you can probably go and talk to them ALSO you can message them OR write in their wall about your questions and your dilemma.......... https://www.facebook.com/MAVNI... GOOD LUCK
