I began a full-time job recently and I have an I-140 approval from my previous employer. More than 180 days have passed. Can my wife apply for H-4 EAD with my previous employer’s approved I-140?

Answer

If the I-140 has been approved for at least 180 days, then it can no longer be revoked by the employer’s withdrawal and remains approved. It therefore can be used for multiple H1B/H-4 extensions, as well as the H-4 EAD. (18.Sep.2017)
