Can I work while Green Card application is pending?

Yes, you can work while I-485 is pending if:

• You have valid work authorization (H-1B, L-1, EAD, etc.)
• Or you file I-765 (EAD application) with I-485
• EAD from I-485 allows work for any employer
• Can continue working on existing work visa while I-485 pending

Benefits of I-485 EAD: Not tied to employer, can work in any field, more flexibility than H-1B.
