Current Visa Status:
I have F-1 Visa. I have applied for my OPT(Optional Practical Training) in June end month. But I haven't received my EAD card yet. I will be done with my Graduate program at 31st of August and my OPT will start from 1st of the September.
I have filled out I 765 to apply for the OPT work permit.
I want to apply for my Green Card through my Husband( He is US citizen).
Questions to be asked:
1. Which forms are required to begin Green card Application?
2. I see there is one I -765 form is required to get work permit while my application is in the process. But I have already filed my OPT application with the same form. Do I need to file work permit form( I -765) again along with my green card application( I 485)?
3.If I require to file I 765 form again with my Green card application, will I still get my OPT work authorization card( which I should be receiving in a month) ? Or because of the new application my current ongoing OPT application will get expired?
Conflict 1- In the case because of new green card application, OPT will get cancel what status I would be on until I my green card get approved? Is there any chance of me going out of status... and to adjust that do I need to file any extra form?
Conflict 2- Is there any possibility that I can still get my OPT card after the green card application( along with submission of work authorization I 765 for GC)?
And I can continue work on my OPT( once I get my EAD card of OPT application) till I get EAD card for the Green card application.
4. Is there any possibility that as I have already applied for work permit through-OPT through my university, when I get a card I can work for a year... without getting/applying work permit along with Green Card application... and when my OPT work permit get expires( after a year) can I renew it with my Green Card application status?
