Please advice when and how can I use my EAD as my wife's 485 not applied yet?
I applied for my 485 in september-2005.I got my 140 approved and EAD approved too.I could not apply for my wife's 485
because she was in India at that time. She is here now on h4 visa.my priority date is oct-2001 -EB2.
now iam under force to used my EAD and roll-over from my company(A) to a different company(B).I know I will loose my h1
status and inturn my wife will loose her h4 status if I use my EAD.
what are my options to keep her on legal status and use my EAD.If I apply h1 for my wife this will not be available until
oct-2007. my company(A) is not willing to wait until then.They want me to roll -over to company "B" as quickly as
possible.As a matter of fact company "A" applied for my EAD only so that I can roll-over to "B".
my quetions are
1.Can I use EAD and change employer even though 180 days not completed from the day I applied for my 485.my lawyer says
that it is ok as long as GC sponsering company won't object you for that.
2 what to do with my wife's legal status inorder to use my EAD???
please advice..your help is greatly appreciated.
