H4 Visa Before/After I-140?
Greetings,
I hope you all are doing well. Currently I am on the recruitment period stage for the PERM Labor Certification of an employed based green card process. I still have about 8 months before my H1B expires, so it’s possible that we will require to get an H1B extension depending on the progression of how fast the PERM application is filed or completed. In the meanwhile, if I get married in my country of origin and I apply for my wife’s H4 visa, I would like to know:
-With the H4 application, would she be able to apply for an EAD before my process moves to an I-140 petition? Is this only possible after the I-140 is approved?
-What happens if we marry and she gets the H4 after the I-140 is approved. Would she still be able to apply with me for an I-485 adjustment of status?
Thank you for your time and for all the help you can provide.
