I am in H1B status and have an approved I-140. I recently got married in India and my wife is waiting for her appointment at the consulate to apply for an H-4 visa stamp. Can she apply for an H-4 EAD now, while she is still in India?

Answer

Typically, it is not permissible to apply for an H-4 EAD while the applicant is outside the United States. (12.Jan.2023)
