Hi all, my wife and I have our AOS pending (current) but have our EAD Parole card issued to us. Our stamped visa has now expired as well. I heard folks entering on EAD have to go through a secondary inspection process. Can someone elaborate what this is and the documentation I need to carry?

It’s nothing significant. You’ll just be asked to sit somewhere and the CBP officer will perform some checks on their computer. It normally doesn’t take more than 15 mins. Nothing to worry about. Just make sure you have the card and maybe the USCIS notice

Need advice. Currently at $142k base. 3 years and 1 month left before I max out of H1b. Just got my PWD issued through current employer though their immediate reaction is subtly letting me know they’re not in a hurry to start recruitment. Got an offer today for $160k base. Similar role, both are good teams, etc. Do I politely decline and see my GC process through or accept and get more money? Feel like current employer will drag their feet as long as they can for retention purposes.
