EB1-OR, EAD to H1 (possibilities)

[eb2007]

I'm planning to use my EAD for a part time job (though my 140 is not approved yet). I know it could be a risky proposition but I'm assuming that I'd jump to H1 (non-profit) if my 140 is rejected. Does anyone has any idea, can we change to H1 (from EAD), if 140 is rejected. I concurrently filed and still waiting for decision, which might take another year. That is the reason i want to use my EAD to earn back some money that I put in green card application. I'm on J1 now and want to use EAD and thus abondon J1 status. Please suggest if it is too risky

As long are not subject to a 2-year home residency rule due to your J-1 that shouldn't be a problem.

I was subjected to 2 yr HRR but I obtained the waiver.....is it fine...
