Please help me on this.
I want to continue my status on H1B. If my wife uses EAD based on pending I-485( I am the principal candidate), can I still remain on H1B?

Thanks in davance.

If your dependents use the EAD their status will be affected (H4), yours (H1) will not.
 
appreciate your information.
I am trying to understand everything since I am am expecting my spouse EAD in near future, I guess.

I-140 (EB2 ): RD: 2/12/07; NSC
I-485: RD: 2/12/07, NSC; Biometrics #3: 3/15/07; (LUD 3/17/07)
EAD: RD 2/12/07
AP: RD 2/12/07
 
I have a realted question.

I have valid H4 stamp on my passport and also have valid EAD though spouse's I-485. I am thinking of using EAD to start a business or get a job. In unlikey scenario of 485 rejection, can I get back on H4? My spouse will have valid H1B all along.

If yes, what is the process to get H4 back? Is it easy as going out of USA (say Mexico) and coming back using H4 stamping?

TIA
