I had a small question regarding the EAD.

I know that once you accept a job on EAD you will lose your H1B status. What if I get my EAD and Take a job on my EAD but my wife who is on her own H1B as of now (who also gets an EAD) cannot find a job in the meanwhile. What becomes of her status. Technically if she leaves her current job to move with me is she out of status since the University will cancel her H1B? Or since she has a EAD she becomes a EAD holder...??? :confused: Since she has not accepted a job yet on her EAD and has left the job of her current H1B...how would the INS know she is still of valid status? Kinda stumped by this one......

If she losses her H1B
she is on AOS status
She is safe (read legal) till her decision for I-485 comes
so are you!!

for travel use advance parole till that point!
for work u can use EAD
don't bother about INS they will know everything once job is terminated its all updated by human resource department. They also know that u are pending AOS.

I thought you had a great lawyer, why don't you check with him/her?
