I have TPS EAD, and applied for OPT EAD 67 days ago, case is still pending in virginia potomatic center. Got office letter. my previous school saying you can use your tps ead until OPT EAD approved, and then you can switch TPS to OPT. But job saying, you can not switch, if you use TPS, we cannot switch your EAD. If they do not switch, after approving OPT within three month I need to use OPT to save my status. I asked this question on aavo.com, layers said, if you use your tps EAD you will lose your f1 status and you will not get opt ead and you cannot file H1B. Anybody has any idea about his?
Thanks!

If You already have EAD why did you apply for OPT- EAD?

Work on TPS EAD until your OPT EAD is approved and find another job using OPT EAD or convince your employer that the only option left for you now( when you have OPT EAD) is to use OPT EAD and if they really want you there then it should not be a big deal.
