Concurrent filing of H4 visa and work permit

[shyamprasaddv]

Hello All,

I am currently working in  USA on H1b-speciality occupation set to expire in august 2016. My spouse has an approved I-140. 

 

My question is can i file of H4 Visa and work permit concurrently, that way i do not have any gaps in my job status.

 

Thanks

Its not possible to file COS without interrupting your work, yes you can file H4 and EAD together but your EAD cannot be approved before your H4 is approved and it takes sometime to get approved after H4 approval.
