Hi Gurus,
My employer has filed my I-485, AP and my wife's I-485, AP and EAD on march 19th 2004. When I asked about my EAD, my HR replied that they wanted to go for 7th year extension for me. He said that it will be good to be on h1b rather than using EAD, because my I-140 is still pending. Now my employer is going to file my 7th year extension soon.
1. Will it be a problem if I maintain H1b status and my wife works on EAD ?.
2. Do I need to file H4 for my wife and keep her on H4 status until getting the I-140 approval ?.
3. Let us say I maintain H1 status and my maintains EAD, if for some reason my I-140 gets denied what will be my wife's leagal status in this country????
4. Can one apply for H4 while an EAD application is pending ?
Gurus please throw your best advises to me.
Thanks
