After perm approval, can one apply for I-140 on H4 EAD?

[Nonimmi_us]

Scenario

1. Applied for perm during 6th yr of H1

2. H1 expired and converted to H4 and obtained H4 EAD

3. Still didnt receive perm approval, been 7 months

4. If perm approved in 2 months, can one apply for I140? Or should one convert to H1 again and apply for 1140?

 

 

Please reply accurately as much as possible. If one cannot apply for I-140 on H4 EAD, we dont want to waste time and money. Only reason we are considering the option is as a back up GC if something happens to spouse's GC process. (1-140 already approved).

Based on this have to decide to apply for FT positions or Corp-corp

 

Thanks!
