The Proposed Rule on H4 EAD

[beperfec]

This is a question on the criteria of the proposed rule. One qualifying criteria for the H4 is that the H1b spouse should have an approved I140.

 

My situation is: I have my I140 approved, but will need to find a new employer due to personal reasons after my spouse obtains the EAD card.

 

My question is: will the card be somehow "invoked" once I terminate my employment with the current employer, which automatically invalidates my I140. Or she gets to use the EAD till the expiration date on the card. In other words, the criteria only applies in the application step.

 

This may sound like asking people to predicate the future. But the full text of the proposed rule is available. My question is based on that version of the rule and I understand the final rule, if passed, could be different. I read the full text already but can't figure out the answer.

 

I deeply appreciate it if you can shine some light on this important matter for us. Thank you.

This proposed rule has not have any progress.

You can ignore it for now. And in the current political climate, it doesn't look to go anywhere.

So are you gonna wait till your wife gets her EAD??

You know that no one can predict what happens to this proposal in future, so why are you wasting your time.

EAD is future, think about present.

It's totally true that no one can predict whether the rule will be published at all. It's just my spouse needs her work permit badly and I can afford to wait a few months and see.

It has been years since it was proposed and don't plan you life based on unknown future and get disappointed. Live the present.

Then you need to forget this proposed rule.

It doesn't happen within few months. Infact not sure whether this will become a law.

Why not work visa for her??
