i140 Approved Change of Employer

[Kaiju]

Hi,

My i140 got approved in 2017. I have receipt number, priority date and A-number but not the approved copy. I have changed employer now. Can i apply H4 EAD now without transfering i140 with new employer? This is the first time applying for H4 EAD.

 

Thanks

I am assuming you are applying for H-4 EAD for your spouse?

There is nothing as transferring I-140 when you change job after its approval. You will have to start GC process from scratch. And, you old employer through which you have approved I-140, might have revoked I-140. You need to contact them or attorney who worked on process to know what they did. Then, you will know if you can proceed with EAD application.

Are you on H1b or H4 ? You can only apply for H4 EAD if you are on H4 and your spouse's is on H1b with i140 approved. Your i140 doesnt make you eligible for H4 EAD, it makes your spouse eligible for H4 EAD if they are on H4.

I am on H1B and planning to apply for H4 EAD for my spouse. After 18 months of my i140 approval, i have changed employer. Should i still need to contact my old employer for applying H4 EAD?
