Q for Big 4 folks and any employment/immigration attorneys here: An EY recruiter asked for my friend’s EAD category after he confirmed unrestricted work authorization and no sponsorship needs. My read is this goes beyond what 8 USC §1324b permits, since the category discloses protected characteristics (type of status, basis of authorization). Curious whether (a) this is common practice at EY, (b) whether anyone has successfully pushed back

Doesn’t sound like they should not be asking that. It is essentially asking “how you got your employment authorization “. They don’t need to know that to make a decision.

With that said - US citizenship and green card the absolute when it comes to not requiring any sponsorship. EAD has an expiration date. It’s not like a green card. So it is technically not unrestricted. They may be trying to know if your green card is on the way and it’s not tied to spouse’s H1B. If it is the latter, then your friend may need sponsorship. Probably poor choice of words from recruiter, but your friend is also not completely right
