Hi everyone,

I currently hold a valid H4 EAD, which is set to expire in one year. I have recently applied for a change of status for my H4 visa, but it is still pending approval. My question is: Can I join a new company and start working using my existing H4 EAD while my H4 change of status petition is still in process?

Thanks in advance for your help!
 
You are changing from what status to what
Apologies, I wasn’t clear.
I had H1B till Feb 2024. I had my EAD H4 from earlier application, and card expires in Aug 2025.
I reapplied for H4 COS this Feb.
So while my H4 is pending, can I start working on my H4 EAD?
