What do you think of Just Egg?
Got an interview with Amazon within their Advertising department. I hear working for Amazon can be great if you get into the right department. Anyone have insights to their advertising department? Good or bad? Also, would love some interview tips if you have them! (It’s for an Executive Assistant position) thank you!

No work arounds. By law, the employer may only accept a valid EAD card as evidence of employment authorization. Talk with your DSO about filing a request for a replacement card or filing the STEM OPT extension. Also ask your DSO about possible request for expedited processing of the I-765 application.

No. You must have the card in your hands in order to work in the United States. There is no work around or exception. I recommend speaking with your DSO to see if you are eligible to file for your STEM OPT extension. If you are now eligible, you could in theory bypass having to request a replacement EAD card. Filing fee for a replacement is $410.
