GC Processing on H4 EAD

[nikhil0425]

Hello,

 

I have a question on my wife's GC processing. She is on H1B status right now and her employer sponsored for her Green Card Processing, right now her PERM labor got certified and her Employer will be filing I140 next month. Once after her I140 got approved. Can she change her status from H1 to H4 EAD dependent on me (I am on H1B)?

 

If so, will that effect her GC processing, Although she gets her H4 EAD, she will be working with the same employer who filed her GC. 

 

Please let me know if this is possible to do with out affecting her GC processing.

 

Thanks,

Nikhil

Since H1 extensions are possible after an approved I-140, why would she want to do this?

She can do so if she wants to.
