H1B Transfer while H4 EAD application pending

USA H4 Visa
1

My wife has stamped H4/I94 until Dec 2022 and we have applied for her EAD recently. Now, I have got a new job and need to transfer my H1B. The new employer is saying that I will need to file an H4 for my wife else she will be out of status. Have few questions :

1 - Is it correct that H4 has to be transferred along with H1, though the H4 is stamped for 3 years already using old H1 petition.

  1. If we transfer the H4/H4EAD along with H1 tranfer, what happens to the pending EAD application. H4 extension is taking longer and we need the EAD sooner.

Please help.

Hi Ashish

What happened in your case ?
does the EAD got RFE ?

Hi Surbhi,

The EAD application (from March !! ) is still in progress. I am hoping to get a response in a week or two now. Will let you know.

Hi Surbhi,

Just FYI, the EAD was approved without RFE.
