For any of you that have already expired or will expire soon, how have you handled your employment situation? I know we can ask for a leave of absence but I'm not really comfortable with this because my team is already shorthanded and it would be unfair for them to have to wait for me getting approved (which god knows how long that can take) instead of just hiring someone new. I'm pretty sure we are not allowed to work with an EAD but I read somewhere that you're allowed a grace period of 90 days if you have proof that you applied for renewal within the specified time frame. Is it possible for us to be unpaid interns? I'm trying to find every avenue possible so I won't lose my job or take leave of absence...
I have already contacted the ombudsman and senator(s) today. I have a family member whose friend has some connections with one of my Senators. I'm hoping they can help me get an appointment with him. I know I'm going through drastic measure but I'm trying to do everything I can to at least say I've tried.

My EAD expired 1/15/15 and I'm on an unpaid leave. My employer is US Bank and HR kept sending my manager emails. I don't think there's a 90 day period or else HR would have suggested it. My manager faxed them copies of receipts and it wasn't enough as it doesn't mean I'm approved yet. USCIS received my case 11/06/14 and never sent me bio appointment until I called customer service on 12/22/14 and got appointment on 1/15/15 and haven't heard anything from them and I will soon not have a job as I don't think my employer is going to wait for me for so long. I checked my case and it only says that my name was updated on 1/28/15.
