Hi

 

I would like guidance for my friend's situation and options available.

 

1. My friend & his wife are currently working on valid H1-B visa along with their respective GC processing in progress. My friend's wife has  EB2 PD of 2009 with I-485 pending from last 3 yrs & they both have EAD due to this pending I-485.  My friend has EB2 PD-2011 & hence got his EAD based on his wife GC process expiring in Feb-2017. As per their situation, his wife is planning to move outside of US for good & not planning to return back. My friend has couple of FT offers & they are looking for EAD/GC.

 

I would like to know in event of friend's wife going outside US for good, EAD for my friend will be cancelled or he can pursue those offers. I believe once his wife moves out of the country, his EAD will be cancelled and it won't be good idea to switch on EAD & rather shifting job on H1-B would be best option & he should wait for offers based on his existing H1-B.

 

Please confirm if he can work on EAD until Feb-2017 or it won't be valid legal option.
