Hi! Everyone,
My mine case is reverse one.
Status: F-1 (Master degree graduating on 4/30/2016; non-stem)
TPS and EAD Receipt Notice: July 29th, 2015
Biometric Appointment Date: August 18th, 2015 (Attended and in 48 hrs- EAD card shows in production)
TPS EAD received: September 11th, 2015
TPS Approval Notice: October 19th, 2015
Started job from November 1, 2015 only after TPS got approved on October 12th.
Same employer filed H1B for 2015 and 2016 but didn't get picked up for last two year H1B lottery. So, employer decided to file PERM under EB-2 instead of H1B once I am done with my graduate degree which is going to complete on 4/30/2016.
Travel Document (I-131) Receipt Notice: December 31st, 2015 (Applied for Multiple entries with travel date 3/5-3/21, but couldn't travel because of change on Mid-term exam date)
Travel Document (I-131) Approval Notice: March 1st, 2016 (Received two copies with multiple entries, valid till 12/24/2016. Note: I have noticed some people who applied for single entry, there travel document is valid for 3 months only)
Applied for OPT EAD as per DSO recommendation to keep my I20 active.
OPT EAD Receipt Notice: April 20th, 2016
Lets see what happens to my OPT EAD request. Some of my friends talked with USCIS and they notified that OPT EAD request might be rejected because of TPS EAD. I filed it to see what really happens to my F-1 status. I will keep on posting about it. I hope that you guys can give me some feedback too.
Thanks.
