Switching to H4 EAD while on H1B with I140 approved

[lisha]

I am on H1-B currently with I-140 approved in EB2 PD of June 2014. My spouse has H1-B with I-140 approved in EB2 PD of April 2015.

 

I was wondering if I convert to H4-EAD now, can I still continue my GC application. Just because I moved from H1-B to H4, will I be able to apply for my final stage in GC process when it’s the time? 

Also Do I need to be in H1 status when I have to apply for 485?

I am thinking there would be more opportunities if I have EAD rather than H1. 

 

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

You can be in any valid status when you apply for AOS.
