pontevecchio Posted August 22, 2018 Report Share Posted August 22, 2018 You should discuss the matter with a lawyer. Link to comment
mehopeful Posted August 22, 2018 Report Share Posted August 22, 2018 Sorry to hear of your situation. Check with an attorney if you qualify for EAD based on hardship. Link to comment

If you have I-140 approved, you should be able to extend your H-1b indefinitely. So you should be able to work here indefinitely until you get your green card. Do you mean you want to leave H-1b jobs and do other jobs instead? Have you been fired and are unable to find another H-1b job or something? It's possible to apply for an EAD if you have I-140 approved, you are currently in H-1b status, and you have "compelling circumstances". Link to comment
care_candidate Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 Sorry to hear about your kid's situation. If I understand clearly, do you fear that after your limited term H1b visa over, you will have to go back to home country? As your kid is US citizen and fact that you are working, he/she will have health insurance through your employer. If your I-140 is approved it means you can keep extending your employment H1b till you get green card. If you want to stay home & take care of your kid, you still need GC. And getting GC via employment is your best bet. Yes, expedite GC via hardship is feasible in some cases but you will have to talk to your attorney. Link to comment
