Laid off on H1B . Use previous valid H4 EAD ?


Recommended Posts

Oct 2022 - I did a change of status to H1B from H4.
May 2023 - I lost my job and will be switching to H4. 
I have applied for COS to H4.
I had my EAD valid till Sep 2023
After my H4 is approved , can I work with that existing EAD ?
Can I apply for EAD extension and continue to work with the expired EAD ?

This is an interesting question. Given that the law requires one to be in H4 status to work based on the related EAD Category, then one who has a valid card from a prior time in H4 status should be able to use it once their status has been changed to H4.
