Dear Gurus,
My wife has an EAD under category (c)(5) (J-2 Spouse or Minor Child of an Exchange Visitor, section D in the instructions for I-765) and her EAD is valid until October 2016. We are going to submit our I-485 (Adjustment of Status) soon and my wife would like to apply for an another EAD under category (c)(9) (Adjustment applicant, section 7A in the instructions for I-765). My questions are: (1) Is it eligible for her to apply for a new EAD while she already has an EAD under different category; and (2) If I lose my J-1 status, can she use her current EAD (J-2 Spouse, Category (c)(5)) until it is expired (10/2016) or is it immediately invalid (if this is the case, applying for a new EAD under category (c)(9) will help her to work legally when I lose my job). Thank you very much for your help.
