Dear All,
I have a H1B with green card pending (NIW, I-140 approved, I-485 pending visa number availability). My wife had H1B with one employer. She took up job with another employer which required her to use EAD (as they won't take H1Bs) since April 2009. I would like to know if she is now out of visa status without a H1B. Will she need H4 to keep visa status or its not necessary. Is there any violation of immigrant/nonimmigrant status here. I have read in these forums that many people do this but is this legal and valid? All helpful suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thank you all in advance for your help.
