saakshi85 0 Report post Posted April 2, 2020 I have not got confirmation if my application has been selected in the lottery for the new H1-B 2021. At this point, I am thinking of moving to H4 and getting H4-EAD as I am eligible for it. - I am concerned that if my H4 visa is approved before I get H4 EAD, I would be out of work status. - Since my F1 OPT is valid until Jan 2021, is there a provision where I can ask USCIS to start my H4 and H4-EAD at a future point in time - say Feb 2021? Can you please advise what should be the best course of action? Share this post Link to post
