Hi All,

Need help with moving from H1B to H4.

March 2016 - Applied for H4 renewal and H4EAD.

April 2016 - Applied for H1B

July 2016 - I got H4 EAD approved and H4 till 2019.

Oct 2016 - Got H1 approved with Change of Status and started working.

I want to move from H1B to H4. Questions :

1. If I go for H4 Stamping. Is that sufficient to get be back to H4 status ?

2. Will my H4 EAD (received in April 2016, valid till 2019) still be valid or I will need to re-apply for H4 EAD ? As I changed my status to H1B in Oct 2016.

1. Yes, that should be sufficient.

2. It is not valid. You need to apply again for new EAD card as you changed your status in between.
