I've got almost the same situation (EAD in November, need to move out of my current house by the end of August). I did my TMO paperwork today, but I'm still not too clear on whats allowed. Heres my situation: I EAD in November to Sheppard and my current orders have me leaving from Florida. The movers are coming to move all of my things out of Florida to storage in Texas at the end of august. The next day, I'll drive my car to California where I'll live at my parents house in California until I EAD 2 months later. My concern is that I have partial DITY paperwork from FL to TX for the end of august (although my RNLTD is 19 Nov) and the guy at TMO told me to just keep all of my receipts until I got to Texas and then continue on to California. I'm doubting that I'll be reimbursed for what would be a normal move, but 2 months ahead of time. I'm wondering now if I should just make the drive on my own to CA, change my home of record and do the normal POV drive to TX. Anyone with insight or suggestions on this would be appreciated... this world of moving is insane to me.
