f1_to_h1 Posted November 24, 2015 Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 Folks, My I-140 was filed last week. My spouse already has approved I-140. Should I apply for change in visa status from H1 to H4 and apply for EAD based on my spouse's approved I-140? The reason is simple - Employers hire readily when you have an EAD. My proposed plan of action: File H1 to H4 transfer this week with H4 start date of June 2016. Concurrent filing of EAD. Considering the above, I'd receive an EAD in June/July assuming there're no hiccups. Is this a smart thing to do or am I shooting myself in the foot? O gurus of wisdom, please shine on your knowledge and criticize as necessary! Thanks. Sorry if this is a re-post. Please guide me to the original post in case there is one. -Ravi Link to comment
