Hello Guys,
I had a question that may be slightly out of context for this forum, but thought you guys would probably know.
- When you file 140/485 concurrently, you also file for EAD/AP. At what point, do you no longer need to maintain the H1B visa
The reason I'm asking is because my wife has been on H1B for 5 yrs now, and I have applied for LCA. Based on 365 days of LCA, I can always get 7th year extension. However, her 6 yrs will expire next year.
If by that time we get to file 140/485/EAD/AP, will she be able to stay on and work on the basis of EAD/AP or needs to be outside the country for 1 yr because of 6 yr limit. I understand that converting to H4 is not an option since 6 yr cap applies to any "H" visa correct?
Any insight would be appreciated
