140 pending - H4 applying SSN based on EAD-

[amindarshana]

I am on H1 and my husband on H4.

My 140 is pending.

We recently received EAD for both of us. If my husband applies for SSN but do NOT use EAD or SSN for work . Will he still remain on H4?

I want him to be on h4 status till I get 140 approved.

Thank you.

I am in the same boat. My 140 is pending. I am on H1 wife is already employed with EAD (After getting SSN). According to my attorney Her getting SSN and working will not have impact on My h1.

Why do you want your spouse to continue on h4?

I have some issues with my 140.. I have doubt it might get denied... so if my my husband (H4) starts working now on EAD, he will loose his h4 status... and later if 140 is denied , he will be out of status , he has to go back to india and get h4 stamped... I don't want to go through all this hassel..so just matter of couple of months.. will wait for 140 decision...and if it gets approved he will use EAD to work.
