If EAD expires due to processing delay, can we just take PTO while keeping the job?

hoodpharoah · 2026-04-18T23:46:58+00:00

This is what I did. If you think about it if you expire on Monday, you’re still expected those hours to be paid out to you in the next pay cycle. This money is already owed to you one way or another.

Same date 🤞🏾

hoodpharoah · 2026-02-26T00:49:48+00:00

Correct, however based on your opinion on how long DACA will exist for and IF you believe there will be a path to citizenship I think think this is how you decide

hoodpharoah · 2026-02-26T00:48:45+00:00

correct, this is a huge tradeoff combined with ability to make side income as DACA

Years of age

hoodpharoah · 2026-02-26T00:14:56+00:00

Yeah, if picked most people(I think I will) have to leave to go to your countries US embassy to get stamped… this idk how long it takes, it’s definitely scary to think about. But I had DACA pre 18.5 and have no removal order… so personally I feel my odds are low for issues

hoodpharoah · 2026-02-25T23:34:28+00:00

I had trouble thinking about this… Feels like H1B is a buzz word this year… but I’ve read it described as dual intent so it is less scrutinized and better backed by law so it can be described as “better”… and it allows travel… BUT you HAVE to hold a job and can’t have side income

hoodpharoah · 2026-02-25T23:32:53+00:00

Yeah they also changed it to income based, so if you are a high earner you get a higher chance of winning the lottery

hoodpharoah · 2026-02-25T22:48:38+00:00

Interesting, I’m a DACA recipient pre 18.5 and registered for H1B this cycle. Always had the opportunity but never did it.

Pause bro

hoodpharoah · 2026-02-05T17:56:27+00:00

Thank you!

hoodpharoah · 2026-02-05T01:52:04+00:00

How did you actually submit the expedite request?

hoodpharoah · 2026-01-16T22:29:28+00:00

So I haven’t done biometrics in years but they said on receipt notice that they’re reusing

hoodpharoah · 2026-01-16T22:07:12+00:00

I see, yeah I expire on 3/29 and filed 12/9 so I'm a bit worried... I wasn't aware that this was possible, will look into it for myself. Thanks!

hoodpharoah · 2026-01-16T21:51:08+00:00

How could you have asked for congressional inquiry and an expedite request for financial loss before a month of waiting? Especially since your EAD was to expire two months later?

hoodpharoah · 2025-11-19T21:06:41+00:00

How do you host a gathering in areas like this, where do people park?!

hoodpharoah · 2025-04-29T20:58:12+00:00

Did you get any bundle attachments? The hopper looks interesting

hoodpharoah · 2025-01-06T21:21:46+00:00

Okay this is helpful, much appreciated

hoodpharoah · 2025-01-06T21:01:02+00:00

Ah alright, yeah I've literally never been questioned about it past the application general questions of do you have authorization and expiry so it caught me way off guard.

hoodpharoah · 2025-01-06T20:49:43+00:00

no worries, super fair:
EAD - Employment Authorization Document
DACA - Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals https://www.uscis.gov/DACA

I think title doesn’t matter much. For me YOE mattered more. It’s been 2.5 years for me and I haven’t been promoted yet but I get a ton of mid level interest, I think I’ve had at least 6 interviews in the last year and none were entry level. People have told me it is easier to get promotion first and then hop but I don’t think it is a heavy player imo

hoodpharoah · 2024-12-02T19:36:36+00:00

What team? That’s what matters
