Which takes Precedence GC EAD or H4 EAD

[GPK2017]

Hi Team,

I have couple of questions.

I am on H4  and have H4 EAD. My GC EAD is approved today. I still have not received the card, My H4 EAD is set to expire on 08-01-17 , but My GC EAD will start its validity from 03-14-17 thru 03-14-18. So which one takes precedence. Do I have to notify my employer of the new card number or can I do it after H4 EAD expiry.

Also my wife is on H1B and received her EAD card with start date of 02-21-17 thru 02-21-18. So will she have to inform her employer or can she continue on her H1B till she gets her GC. How will the EAD help her.  Her GC details ( EB1B , I-140 approved Jan 13, 2017), non concurrent.

Thanks in advance for your valuable inputs.

H4 EAD may not last long. Once you get AOS based EAD, inform your HR. Your wife can choose to continue in H1 status or use the EAD.
