rohang Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 if your H1b was approved as change of status, then your status is H1b. So you cannot apply for H4 EAD. In case of COS, you have to start working for your employer. Link to comment

Thanks. Your question is not clear...Are you asking about EAD for your dependent spouse? If YES, then answer is that H4 spouses only get an EAD if the principal H1B holder has an approved I140.

rksingh Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 No. You can only have one status at a time either H1 or H4 so to apply for H4 EAD, you will have to change status to H4 first Link to comment
