Hi,

My H4EAD will be going out of status later this month and my renewal application is in process. From the current scenario, I understand that there are delays and the average time is 4 to 6 months. Meanwhile, I would like to be active in stock markets and if I can not, I would like to know if I can sell my stocks and options (bought before EAD goes out of status) to book profits or square off my positions? Or do I have to liquidate my portfolio and close my positions before my EAD goes out of status?

Thanks,
