Does any know if my wife continue to work on her H4-EAD while I move from H1 and use my GC-EAD.

Asking this because if I use GC-EAD she will be no longer on H4 (I believe so) in that case H4-EAD becomes obsolete. I wish I'm wrong but can anyone knows what it is. Can she work on H4-EAD and I'm on Adjustment of Status; GreenCard-EAD?

Thanks in advance!!
 
The validity of her H4 is dependent on you maintaining H1 status.

Is she a derivative on your GC application? (And if so why did you not also apply for an EAD for her?) It’s not just the EAD that becomes obsolete, it is the entire H4, so she will need another status to be legal.

More details:
Yes, she is derivative applicant and I-485 applied for her along with me. But the catch here is I have received my GC-EAD but not my wife. That's the reason for this ask/Question. Hope this clarifies and sorry I should have posted this earlier. Thanks!
 
Well, at least she has status. But as soon as you violate your H1 status she is no longer H4, she will become adjustment pending (as will you) but as she has no EAD she cannot work.
