Dear folks,

I\'ve filed I485(gotten receipt also), I plan to hold on to my H1
until I bring my wife here(on a H4). Do I have to be on my original
H1 status until she gets her I485 receipt?
That is, if I change my H1 status (like take up a new job with an EAD/new H1) during the time she is waiting for her receipt, will she go out of status?? In otherwords can she be on a H4 while I\'m no longer on the original H1 status?? or is I485 pending is a valid status by itself??

please clarify...thanks a bunch.

lachu.
