I140 filed. Should I transfer to spouse's

[f1_to_h1]

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.
