H-A Visa - EAD
Hi All,

My husband is a physician and will be obtaining a H-1B visa next year. I will be obtaining the H-4 visa next year.

I have a few questions that I need some clarification on, any help would be greatly appreciated!

1) As a H-4 visa holder, can I obtain a EAD? Under the I-765 eligibility categories its under c-26, stating that I am eligible with proof of status, proof of relationship to H-1B holder and approved I-140. For my own peace of mind, if someone who has obtained an EAD while on a H-4 visa can confirm this, that would be great! I am reading mixed things on the internet.
2) I am assuming the I-140 form will be approved with the H-1B process, is this correct?
3) Is there any restrictions on obtaining an EAD under the H-4 visa?
4) How long does it take for the H-1B and H-4 visa to get approved?
5) If any H-4 visa holders who have obtained EADs can please leave a comment on the process and your experience, that would be very helpful!

Thanks in advance!!
