QUESTION
EAD for green card application through family member
Asked on Feb 02nd, 2014 on Immigration - Ohio
More details to this question:
Im in the USA with my wife on F1 visa that expires after 6 months. My sister in-law (a US citizen) turns 21 in 2 months. If she applies for a green card for us, can we stay in the US while the case is pending? Are we eligible for an EAD in that case? I know it takes a very long time for brothers and sisters but it will help if we can work while case is pending.

It will be several years after your sister-in-law files her petition, before you would be at the stage where you can apply for an EAD. As an F-1 student, you have options available which would permit you to work. Talk to your foreign student advisor at your university for information on that. Also, before you pursue a green card, I suggest that you consult with a competent immigration lawyer.
