Hello Allgurus,
I have filed my I-485, 1.5 years back when it became current for all & retrogressd later. I was not married that time & i got the EAD in Aug2007. I havent used my EAD for my employment eligibility(I-9) till now ,still i am using my H1B for my payroll & legal stay.
Q.1)I am planning to get married on April'09 & bring my spouse on H4 along with me,do you think i can switch to EAD once after me(H1 & AOS) & spouse(on H4) are here back in USA on May'09..?
Q.2) My doubt is if i start using my EAD from May'09(after bringing my spouse here), will she loose her H4 status automatically ..?if so , how can she stay here with me ..? I am gettin mixed opinions about this.
Q.3) If i switch to EAD after marriage, will my H1 also be valid simultaneously & so my wife's H4 ..? Will she be evicted out of the country then ..?
Q.4) My I-140 got approved few months back,but my H1-employer is not telling me the approval# or any refernce regarding the I-140 approval,saying that it belongs to the company.I have a good job offer now to join my client directly on EAD, so if i commit to join them on May'09,will be knowingly or unknowingly jeopardizing the status of my spouse ..?
Q.5) When will i be able to file the I-485 derivative filing for my spouse ..?
How sould i know when is the time for her derivative filing ..???
Q.6) please advise , if i can use my EAD & at the same time keep my spouse's stay valid in US pls let me know how it work..?
q.7) How will i track my priority date is current or not ..? Will i be notified ,if my PD becomes current again ..?
Appreciate your advise in this regard,
Thanks,
Rk
