Question for green card holders
Almost everyone who gets a green card goes through the adjustment of status phase towards the end of the process. At some point during AOS, you get an Employment Authorization Document (EAD), which gives you the right to work in the US but is not yet the final permanent residency document. My question is, do US airlines hire pilots with an EAD or do they make you wait until your green card process is 100% finished?

Airlines really don’t understand anything other than a green card so I doubt you will have much luck without it. |

An EAD allows you to work in the US and there should be no discrimination between an EAD and a green card. That being said you can’t leave the USA until you have your green card as USCIS would consist you to have abandoned your application if you leave without advanced parole.

Thanks for the info. It sounds like some airlines are happy with an EAD. |
It's against the law to require specific documents to prove work authorization. In other words, they cannot ask you for a "green card", they may only ask you to prove you are authorized to work in the U.S. Look at the instructions for completing the I-9 form. Pretty clear on there what the employer's obligations are.

Great info, thank you very much |
Sigler- forgive my nosiness, what nationality are you and if not UK, is it the same process to get the EAD? All I keep seeing is a viscious cycle right now in my efforts! |
I am not from the UK, but the adjustment of status phase is the same regardless of your country of origin. Do you already have an approved immigrant visa petition? If so, the EAD should come anywhere 3 to 6 months after you file your I-485, on average. |
