gc1srk Posted February 24, 2018 Report Share Posted February 24, 2018 Hello All, I need some help in filing I 485 for my spouse. I am on L1A and my spouse has H1B. Can we file I 485 without changing her status to L2? Just wanted to double check. Thanks Quote Link to comment
JoeF Posted February 24, 2018 Report Share Posted February 24, 2018 Sure. Just follow the instructions for the I-485. Her status doesn't matter. The only thing that matters is the relationship to you. Quote Link to comment
gc1srk Posted February 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 thank you for the answer. From what day her status changes? Is it after getting her EAD or from the day we file the I 485. Currently my I 140 is filed and yet to file I 485. Quote Link to comment
JoeF Posted February 26, 2018 Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 (edited) Filing an I-485 doesn't change the status. She is in H1B status as long as her H1 is valid and she works for the H1 employer. Using an EAD would change the status. Edited February 26, 2018 by JoeF Quote Link to comment
