I am in F-1 student status working on OPT. I recently got married to a U.S. citizen. We are about to file all the required paperwork to get my green card. …

… Will I be able to use my EAD to continue working on OPT after the filing?

Answer

Yes, you should be able to continue working on OPT in valid F-1 status until the USCIS issues your new EAD based on your I-485 application for adjustment of status. At that point, you should start using your new EAD based on your green card case. (10.Feb.2017)
