Hey guys,
USCIS received my case on 7/13, I had biometrics done on 8/3, and my EAD expires on 10/26. I have been a nervous wreck because I'm at risk of losing my job. I go to school and pay rent, pay tuition, and maintain myself. I'm wondering how you guys managed to convince your places of employments to place you on leave? My supervisor was being very understanding, and he initially said they would place me on leave for as long as we needed. He then contacted HR which apparently contacted the company's immigration lawyer who said it would be far too risky to keep me on leave because it would mean I'd be on the payroll still. So as of right now I'm being terminated on 10/26. I am completely devastated. My supervisor was trying to be understanding but HR said that our company faces fines for keeping me on payroll after my EAD expiration date. Any advice for me?
