H1 6 year validity while H4 working on H4 EAD

[kk3399]

Hi, 

My H1 6 year term ends this November. My wife is working on H4 EAD. Due to personal reasons, I am planning to leave to India for good in May. But my wife wants to work until end of year. So my questions are:

- If I leave US in May can I claim the unused 6 months of my H1 term to return to USA later if I want to come back to USA on JH1
- Can H4 EAD continue working while H1 is not present in USA for longer duration?

Thanks
Krishna

Your wife can not work when you leave for good.
