Default H1 B Amended, Is H4 Amendment needed, or can spouse be on EAD
Hi,

485 was filed in Dec 2011 in EB2 (PD - Feb 2008) with US Employer, (Full time). EAD issued in Feb 2012. Company was acquired and they filed H1-B Amendment in July 2012,(after 220 days, from 485 filing - Company Lawyer insisted on H1-B Amendment). The new company will not file for H4. Can the Primary be on the H1 for the new company and Spouse be on EAD ( H4 was filed with the Previous employer, who was acquired). Spouse is not working. H1-B Amendment not yet approved, but receipt number issued.

I don't think you need to file an amendment for your wife she can still stay on same H4 ( till the date of validity ) .
Even if the H4 expires you can file for H4 extension depending on your H1 validity ( Independent of your employer) .
You wife can stay in US on EAD ( AOS status ) till your I 485 is in process....

Hope this helps..

Andy
