  1.  Hi,

    I have an approved I-140. My wife is on H1 visa and her H1 visa is expiring Jan 2017. I want to file the change of status (COS) for per from H1 to H4 and also file H4 EAD. I have few questions,

    1. Do we need to hire an attorney for this OR I can do it by myself? What is recommended?
    2. Can we file COS and H4 EAD at the same time?
    3. If we file COS and EAD, Can I switch the jobs and Change my H1 petitioner? If I do so, would it impact COS process?

    Appreciate, your could share your thoughts on this.

1. She could do it herself if she chooses. All instructions are provided in the USCIS site.

2. She could file the COS first and then after approval apply for the EAD . Maybe look at the site to see if they are allowing concurrent applications for EAD.

3. Her H4 status and EAD are based on your valid H1 status with any employer and your approved I-140 with any employer.
