Company B's HR is very legit and they didn't even ask my EAD, I accept their offer and filed the I-9 and they are doing reference/background check at this moment.

The one I accepted offer me annual salary close to 6 digits.

In fact, if the company is professional enough, their HR will not ask question about your visa status because it's not legal to do so. There are many type of other EAD that don't require sponsorship, DACA is just one of those, you just have to fill out their I-9 form properly, the I-9 form stated clearly that the employer shouldn't have any discrimination against workers with limited time of employment.
But 90% of the company will not choose to hire you if you have EAD. Which is sad.
Engineering in what?

So blessed right now it took a lot of work, sweat, tears and pain, but its starting to get better and the only way now for me if up. I came from the lowest and I hope my story inspires you to keep at it and you never know what great things are to come.
That's an amazing story!!! It gave me the chills Something exactly like that happened to my dad & it is unbelievable. I wish you and your family the best.

Got a research position at the university. Pay is good, but I can only work 20 hrs/week since I am a full time student; but that's good, because I don't want to work more than that. Praise God - a few months ago I had lost all hope in ever finding a real job.

Good luck. There are so many job openings but the competition is also pretty high since there are a lot of skilled people around the DFW. Hourly jobs should be easy to get but good luck. Hope you land a good job.

Just got a job at Google! The HR recruiting team were really impressed by my interview and they wanted me in their network development department. My salary was decided to be at around $115,000. They said my EAD was fine as long as I could keep renewing it. I start work a couple days from now. Can't wait!


























































































































Just kidding.

So 2 weeks went by and there were rumors I was going to leave because I could work somewhere else. The next day after I heard what rumors where going around he called and told me what I was going to do?I told him I wasn't planning to change jobs but I would do anything for my family even if it took I work a second job. He simply said sell that junk car of yours it gonna break down and then you will be in the hole with a junker(01 Honda accord 191k salvage title...yea kind of junkie.) a couple days later my car breaks down timing belt isn't working $800 in repairs but car is worth $2000 tops. I luckily decided to sell it the mechanics assistant that had the same car and need some parts from mine and we decided on $1500. I told my boss I was looking for a car with $1500. He asks me what do you really want. I said a car that wont break down and big enough for a family of 4. He calls me that same night and asks what color car I wanted with the money I gave him(gave him the money cuz he has connections.) the next day at work he gets there and starts to record me on his phone and asks me to walk outside to the parking lot. I follow him to see the surprise of my life. A brand new 2013 Hyundai Sonata Silver!!! I was in disbelief. So he used the money for the down payment and it turned out that he was going to make the payments and also pay the insurance on the car ($500 a month total) Its a lease for 3 years but at least I have peace of mind about driving a good car with my Cali drivers license which I have been wait with all you fellow dreams for years! I know its not paying me directly but its an expense I don't have to worry about and gave me a company credit card for gas allowance and emergencies. So blessed right now it took a lot of work, sweat, tears and pain, but its starting to get better and the only way now for me if up. I came from the lowest and I hope my story inspires you to keep at it and you never know what great things are to come.

I work at wells fargo as an administrative assistant. I went to multiple recruiting agencies back in November when I got my EAD. Through out november-december they gave me small jobs, ex 2 days at SWBC, or 3 at a different company. They then offered me this current position. I've been employed since January, the pay is good, the hours are office hours 8-5, M-F and I'm looking forward getting into grad school again. I have a bachelors in accounting.
