Urgent! OPT expires while waiting for new EAD after married

[immigrant67]

Hi all,

I am doing my OPT, and it expires on Feb 7th 2008. The company I work for does not sponsor, but would like me to continue to work. I got married to an American citizen and I am going to apply for I-485 (AOS) and I-765 (new EAD) at the same time next week. Will my OPT-work permit still be valid until it expires on Feb 7th 2008 after my application is recieved? Also, will I be able to continue to work between the time that my OPT expires and the time that I get the new EAD, say March th 2008?

Thanks

Your OPT will be valid till it expires, but you cannot work between the time that OPT expires and new EAD arrives
