Question: When applying for new jobs, do I need to ask for a new H-1B, or can I work using my current EAD and change employer?
Answer: You can go ahead and join with the EAD but keep the future plan of reactivating your H-1B.
Question: Like H-1B after termination, is there a 60-day rule? Does that rule apply to me also, even though I have an EAD?
