My husband is in the U.S. in H1B, and I am working from India for a U.S. employer. Can I apply for an H-4 EAD from India? Or do I have to be in the U.S. to apply?

Answer

In order to apply for an H-4 EAD, the foreign national generally must be physically in the U.S. Once the EAD application is filed, however, it typically is possible to travel abroad while the EAD application is pending.  (18.Feb.2021)
