Karthick S Posted June 7, 2021 Report Share Posted June 7, 2021 Hello, My spouse is having H4 EAD valid till May 2022. Recently I have transferred my H1B to new employer and H1B got approved till Jan 2024 and H4 Extension is pending for approval. 1. Can I apply H4 EAD because recent days in some cases H4 EAD taking more than a year for approval. My spouse don't want to loose working status. Am I eligible to apply for more than 6 months window since I did H1 transfer? If yes, What would my option to choose in "Part 1:Reason for applying" in I-765 form? 2. Should I wait till H4 approval? or Can I proceed when H4 is pending state? Quote Link to comment

Choose 1.c Renewal of my permission to accept employment. Edited July 21, 2021 by Zodiac System Quote Link to comment
