Hi, I had my H1 approved, but my spouse H4/H4 EAD are still pending even the biometrics haven't completed the applications RD is July 23, 2020 and they are in CSC. My spouse currently works and she also drives to work few days a week. In the month of October when our filing dates for 485 became current we filed I-765 and I-131(RD is 10/5/20) as well. My spouse's current H4/H4EAD will expire on Dec 18. She is anxious about losing her job and there is a potential that the job may offshore if she can't continue or out of work for longer. The questions are: 1. Does she need to resign from the job or can she just go for a leave of absence without pay? Her employer is e-verified. Is there anything can be done so she retains her job? 2. If she gets her I-765 from GC sooner than H4EAD, can she start working on it alone while I continue working on H1? Or do I also need to switch to EAD? 3. Is there a way GC's I-765 can be expedited or approved in faster manner since it doesn't need biometrics for processing? USCIS is denying H4EAD expedite request under the pretense of the non-completion of biometrics for H4. 4. If she gets H4EAD later than GC EAD, can she switch to H4/H4EAD? What are the repercussions?
