EAD and H1B

[immihelp]

Dear Sir/Madam,

I have gone thru your link below but still have one question. Can you please clarify?

https://www.immihelp.com/maintaining-h-l-status-vs-using-ead-ap-after-filing-adjustment-of-status/

My wife is on H1B and she worked last year. She recently went to India and came back on H1B. This year she doesn’t want to work as we are expecting baby.

If she is on H1B, she has to be on payroll. She has EAD and AP also. If you want her to move to EAD with same employer, how?

If she is on maternity leave, how about next year if she dont want to work.

Can you please help with this situation?

Thanks & Regards

She can sign new I-9 form with the employer to go on EAD. Or she can quit the job and go on H4, as long as you are on H1.
