I filed an I-539 to extend my H-4 status. Can I now apply for an H-4 EAD while my I-539 is still pending?

Answer

Assuming the person otherwise qualifies for an H-4 EAD, one generally may file an EAD application while the I-539 is still pending. A copy of the I-539 receipt notice should be included with the EAD application. (27.Nov.2017)
