Hi, I’m on H4 visa and been in US since 1.5 years. My Husband is on H1b and the company has not yet started the green card process. Wil I be eligible for the H4 EAD rule. Can I get EAD without GC initiation or 6 years criteria? And my other doubt is, if we get extension this year, is it necessary to stay in US for 6 years or jus the extension approval is enough.
Simple answer is NO, you need your H1 spouse Green card second stage (i140) completed to get your H4 based EAD. I would suggest you to please spend some time to read the main article on this blog related to H4 EAD.
Extension approval is enough.
