Hello,
I’m particularly interested in the timeframe that allows the spouse of a H-1B holder (which is an H-4 visa-holder) to start working after the simultaneous filing of the I140-I485 for the Green Card under the Reduction in Recruitment alternative in the Vermont office? If we assume that the I140-I485 forms are simultaneously filed in January 2003, approximately when would the spouse be allowed to work afterwards, December 2003, December 2004? Thanks in advance.
 
After EAD approval

File i765 along with I485. As soon as EAD is approved, spouse can start working. Make sure that EAD is renewed before expiry , since for continuos employment spouse needs unexpired EAD and INS does not issue EAD retroactively...
