A:
With your new EAD card under the C09P category, resulting from your pending I-485 Adjustment of Status application, you are granted the flexibility to work in the United States without being restricted to your current employer who is sponsoring your green card under the EB3 category. This EAD is designed to provide work authorization while your permanent residency application is being processed.
Therefore, you are allowed to engage in employment outside of your current field or employer, including part-time work with companies like Uber, Lyft, or DoorDash. This flexibility is a key benefit of the C09P EAD, as it recognizes the need for applicants to support themselves and possibly explore different employment opportunities while awaiting the adjudication of their permanent residency applications.
It is important, however, to ensure that you comply with all the requirements and conditions of your employment authorization, including reporting income and adhering to state and federal laws applicable to independent contractors or gig economy workers. Keep records of your employment and earnings, as this information may be relevant to your future immigration applications or inquiries.
If you have specific concerns or questions about your situation, consulting with an attorney can provide personalized advice and ensure that your employment activities remain in compliance with your immigration status.
