Hello,

My wife received her EAD (based on AOS I-485 petition) and wants to work. Now my H1B is close to expiration. I'm planning to extend my H1B, I don't know whether it's necessary to extend my wife's H4. In other words, my questions are (1): should I also request an extension of H4 for my wife?
(2) If my wife uses EAD for work, Is her H4 still in status even if her H4 get extended?

Thanks a lot for your advice.
 
You don't need H4 to stay in status if you had filed I-485. If she already started working using EAD then you should not file H4 extension.

For working you need EAD.
