My wife and I have been in the US for some time now. We both have our respective H1B from our employers. My GC PD is in 2018 and I've been eyeing a miracle in October this year where I presume that DOF might move good enough to cover me. At the same time, I've been prepping for interviews and might get an opportunity soon.
While it is just an assumption but if my PD is current and eligible for EAD, I ll miss either my offers or my EAD as my process has to start over in new company.
My question is, how good is EAD for me? I understand it will be a backup to my work visa in case my employer decides to fire me on spot and I can't secure a job in 60 days. But can't i fallback to H4 as my spouse has H1B and vice versa. It has to be a catastrophe that both of us lose H1B in same period and both cant secure jobs in 60 days.
So blind fam, help me. Is EAD still worthwhile my stay at my current job till I get it(or 6months post i485 filing) or I shouldnt be worried as EAD provides same backup as spouse's dependent visa. Am I missing something? Should I give a crap about EAD or I can just move free without worrying about it since spouse H1b is my backup
Edit: My point against EAD is that it's one more application that I have to keep following up every year with USCIS and most probably it won't be used.
