Hi friends,
I have a question on EAD vs H1.
I have my H1 remaining for another 4 years. Also, thru my husband who had filed for GC.. I have got my EAD card as well.
Since the company I am currently working is slowly sinking(might even lay off unexpectedly) ..I am thinking of looking for new job. Now, just in case they lay off..I am sure I can work using my EAD. Since I have a lot of time on my H1 I don\'t wish to use my EAD now.
1) In that case..will I be out of status if I do not apply for a H1 transfer before the current employer lays off?
2) Or is it that I will not lose status since my I-485 is filed(dependent on my husband) and that I have a EAD.
3) If I start using my EAD to work now..can I use the remaining H1 again in future? In that case ..will it be a fresh H1( that comes under H1 quota)or can I do a EAD to H1 transfer (if that facility is available)
Any answers and inputs will be greatly appreciated.
