Regadring -EAD and I-40

[divya.menon111]

Hi,

 

I need some clarification related to EAD and I-140. Below is the scenario:

 

Let's say, my husband is working for company X and got his PERM started with company Y and got an I-140 approved with company Y. 
1) Can I apply for EAD based on that I-140, though he continues to work for company X? 
2) Can he give the receipt of the approved I-140 to company X and ask them to continue the process from there?

3) Do we need any documents from the current employer(X) if we are filing with the other       employer(Y)?

FYI-  My husband is on H1B and I am on H4.

 

Can someone please respond to these questions as early as possible.

 

 

Thanks

Divya

1. Yes.

2. No. The new employer will need to start from PERM etc.

1) possible

2) H4-EAD can be filed without employer being involved.

Thank you for your prompt responses.

 

So, in that case, once company X starts our PERM process, would they be able to use the same priority date ( assuming that we have received the I-40  from company Y)?

Do we need any documents from the current employer(X) if we are filing with the other employer(Y)? Like experience letter, employee verification letter etc.

Has your husband worked for company Y before joining company X.

 You do not need any documents from current employer( X) to file H4 EAD.

With company Y, may be No. Its just a scenario that I am considering to understand how it works and in case we file how we need to proceed.

With respect to the documents, I meant do we need anything from current employer(X) at the time of starting the PERM process with company Y?
