My OPT EAD card is expiring at the end of May. Me and my husband filed adjustment of status last year in September, where I filed for a new EAD card. Am I eligible for automatic extension if my new EAD does not come by the time the OPT one expires? I also received a receipt notice for the new EAD saying if eligible, I can provide that paper with expired EAD as a proof to my employer and continue to work. How does this work?
