I have two questions

 

1. I have some confusion regarding the new H4 EAD law that is being proposed by DHS.I am a H1B visa holder and in my 3rd year now(current extension is there till end of 5th year) if I apply for Green card now when can I apply for my spouse's H4 EAD assuming the law is passed.

 

This particular line in the law is confusing me.If my process starts can i apply or do I have to wait till certain stage

 

".. H-4 dependent spouses of principal H-1B nonimmigrantshave begun the process of seeking lawful permanent resident status through employment and have extended their authorised period of admission"

 

2. If I apply for GC now and my wife's visa get transferred to H1B from H4 means she is no more a dependant then how will it affect her GC . I mean can I add her later if she is in H1B .
