My wife was not picked in the last attempt of her H1B lottery and her current work authorization expires in Jan 2023. Can someone comment on the best strategy to move her to H4 EAD. Do we apply H4 COS and H4 EAD together with a future date as the start date? In such cases do the H4 COS and H4 EAD get approved together? Anyone with similar experience? #workvisa #h1b #h4 #ead

  • If her company is overseas. It would be worthwhile for her to work overseas for a couple of months before she receives her EAD. Don't spoil her career just for the sake of staying together. EADs are taking 6-12 months.

    They don’t necessarily get approved together. Easier to get H4 stamp overseas and then apply for EAD after coming back here, considering current process times.

    It’s not a question about staying together or apart but rather doing the best for her. So the opinion here is to apply together even when they won’t be approved together and hopefully get a work permit in another country to let her continue her employment up until the EAD turns up?
