Pl helps me to understand EAD issue:

I am currently on H1B visa. Once I receive the EAD card does that mean my H1B status is gone or

EAD comes in effect once I start to utilize that by getting new job on the EAD or some other means. (In this case even though I am having a physically card with me but my H1B status remains valid if I don't start any new job on that card)


Just to confirm in case of second option true and my I140 or I 485 reject I remain on valid H1 B visa
 
H1B will be intact

Yes, EAD comes in effect only if you use it. You can continue to work on H1 and keep the EAD in your wallet for fun.

140/485 Refusal (God-forbid) won't affect you, if you're on H1.
