I think the question your asking is if your h4-EAD is already approved for say till 2020, how does the administration revoking the rule affect your valid work permit? Link to comment
kiran25 Posted December 29, 2017 Report Share Posted December 29, 2017 Can we go back from h4 to h1b. If we had already used our 6 year h1b and then moved to h4 ead ....if h4 ead is revoked Link to comment
pradeep143 Posted December 29, 2017 Report Share Posted December 29, 2017 Hi, My wife came to USA on H4 and converted to H1B on 12/11/2012. She started working on H1B until 06/30/2017 and as her project ends I have applied H4 and H4 EAD which has been approved on 12/20/2017 has validity until 03/30/2020.

Sri B Posted December 29, 2017 Report Share Posted December 29, 2017 Hi, Will the revocation of H4 EAD be effective immediately after Mr. Trump will sign the executive order/action? Or can we use the H4 EAD as long as it is valid (in our case the EAD is valid until 08/31/2020)?? Thanks Link to comment

How will the existing H4ead holders effected if h4 was gets revoked. We cannot be sure if any proposed changes will be immediate, or allow individuals to utilize an H4EAD for the already approved validity. We hope the latter, but will need to monitor legislative changes as they occur. Once there is an update we will issue it on the Murthy Law Firm Bulletin. If you are not already registered to get these updates, it is advisable to do so via our home page, www.murthy.com. Link to comment

Once legislation as passed there may be viable legal challenges that can be made, but it depends on the legislation created. Link to comment

Sorry, we do not have an update on the hearing, yet. We checked the court's system this morning, but it has not yet been updated. That being said, we still do not believe the lawsuit is likely to impact the H-4 EAD program. It was dismissed based on standing. What that means is, regardless of what the Trump Administration (or any other party) does or does not do, the court on its own will not allow this particular lawsuit to move forward unless the plaintiff can get a judge to overturn the standing issue.
