I would really appreciate if somebody could help me clarify the process of getting the EAD.
I am a RN (just got my licence) on the legal status in the USA which, however, doesn't allow me to work. I have found an employer who is willing to sponsor me, but has never done this before, and doesn't have any idea how to do it. My future employer wants me to start working ASAP, and I really need to know what is involved in getting the EAD, and how much time I have to wait before beginning to work. I am afraid of losing the job if it takes too long. It is my understanding that I can't work until I have the EAD in my on hand.
Please, share you experience how it really work from the point when you have found your employer. You had to wait for the EAD. Right? And your employer agreed to wait with you?
I am not talking here about other documentation to get the Green Card because from the moment when I can legally work, time wouldn't be a problem for me. However, I would be grateful if you can briefly mention about my next steps, and, especially, about obstacles I have to anticipate. The most common obstacle I have encountered since I started my jobhunting is that there are only few companies that want to sponsor international nurses. I am greatly frustrated, and that is why I consent to work for the the company that doesn't know anything about it, but just is willing to help so far.
I am thanking in anticipation of your reply. I wish you all the best success.
