A: Your EAD is based on your pending green card application. If you are applying for a green card based on marriage, no problem to change jobs. If you are applying based on an employment-based case, you need to consult with an immigration attorney. Please note this is not legal advice and you should always seek the assistance of knowledgeable counsel.
