H4 EAD

[salunkepratik]

Hi All,

 

I was with company A and I got my I-140 approved with PD : 12/6/13. Now I changed my employer and now company B started my Green card process and  seems will take 2 yrs to get to my I-140.

 

My question is can I still apply for my wife's EAD based on my previous approved I-140?...since my current employer is different then the one which I had got my I-140 approved with.

 

I got mixed answers and was hoping some of you might help me here.

 

Appreciate all the help and input :)

 

thanks,

 SP

Only if that I-140 is still valid.

EAD can only be applied if your I140 is still active. If your previous employer revoked your I140, then you cannot file for EAD.

Yes, my I-140 is still valid. Thanks for the response :)

fyi: I140 should not just be valid when you are applying for EAD, it has to be valid throughout. 

 

If previous employer revokes I140 (and that they can do without informing you), EAD becomes invalid immediately.
