can spouse start green card process without H1B

[hyimei]

My husband gets EAD through my GC process(before EAD, he was F1), and works for a company using EAD, now he would like to start the green card through his company. Does he need to apply for H1-b first?

Go ahead

Nope, spouse does not HAVE to get H1B visa to file for employment based permanent residency.

Good luck.

Thank you for your reply.

Just to confirm, he can file his application through his company (even though his current status is EAD through my case) without H1B and independent of my case?

yes
