    Need your advice, situation explained

    You can go on EAD and tell your spouse to go on an H1B.....I just say that because it kinda gives you options to fall back on something in the unlikely case something untoward happens to your 485 status.....if you both are on an EAD then both of you go stat out of status the day it gets...

    H4 for Doctors (MBBS)

    Why does she need to sit at home for 3-4 years before entering residency???? If she gets accepted by a program willing to sponsor an H1 then she can theoretically start as soon as she comes to the US....is there any stipulation that you need to be on H4 for a certain number of years??? :confused:
