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?

Answer: The rule is the same for H-1B.  You can start using your EAD. 

Question: My wife received her Advance Parole document, and I haven't so far. It's been more than 8 months now. Does it impact my AP processing?

Answer:  It does not impact your Advance Parole processing. You will get it eventually.

Question: Is there a time frame in which I need to get a new job on EAD? Question: What are "same or similar" jobs for AC21 portability?

Answer: No, there isn't.
