Hi
My husband was in L1 and I got EAD and SSN during that time. as soon as i got them, my husband had to change to H1 and before i could submit my h1 application, the quota got closed for this year. and now i am n H4.
I can apply for H1 next year but by the time i get it it will be too late. i need to earn now to stabilize my financial status.
so is my EAD still valid with the H4 visa?
can i do any kind of job that is legally approved?
Please help me with info

Thanks
Jay

do you have I-485 pending? if your EAD is based on your I-485 then you can use EAD for work and your H4 status will be invalid from the day you use EAD.
 
thanks

I think I have my EAD based on my I-485. If i can use my EAD for work and my H4 is invalid on that case, then what visa will i hold?

what do you mean by" I think"?. if you have filed I-485 and you also filed for EAD then that EAD is based on Your Pending I-485.
If you have EAD based on your I-485 you CAN use that EAD for work and you will be AOS pending status. if you want to go out then will need AP filed and approved when you are in US so that you can use the AP for reentry to US.
IF you use EAD and your spouse is still on H1 status and your spouse has not used EAD then you can also enter on H4 status if you have H4 valid Visa or get H4 visa stamp(that is if you want to be again on H4 status)
