WHAT HAPPENS TO J2 EAD, WHEN J1 (PRIMARY) CHANGES JOB?

Hi,

I have an EAD based on my J2 status, valid till August 2023. Can anyone please advise what happens if my Husband (J1 Primary) changes job?

J1 details pertaining to the new employer on DS2019 would have to change and so should it (DS2019) change for all dependents (J2). But not sure what happens to my valid EAD in this process.

Do I need to just contact USCIS/DHS and inform them that I have a new DS2019 and send them the necessary docs to have their records updated? If this can happen, then I can continue with my job on the valid EAD.

OR

If not, do I have to file for a replacement / new EAD and wait to get that before I can restart work. In this case I will have to let my current job go and sit jobless until the new EAD comes in.

Please advise...
