Status of H4 & EAD - after moving to H1b

[SathyaStaal]

Hello !

Have a H4&EAD approved. And planning to move H1b.

Is it possible to come back to H4(and use EAD) - after few months ?

Your question is not clear to me, how ever i can share my experience.

EAD is much more valuable than H1B. H4 & EAD means you are waiting for Green card, so you dont have to look for a new H1B anymore. With EAD you can work for any employer, and could be renewed once it get expired,  but H1B limited to only the sponsor, if your sponsor is a HR firm, then you can't look for a full time position unless the hiring firm is ready for visa transfer. I had J2 visa + EAD, with that i worked for two companies on a full time role. Now i forced to take H1B and i am searching for a contract job for last couple of months.

-> H4 given to H1B dependents. 

->H1B filed by any firm to hire skilled candidates.
