Comment on DHS Extends Eligibility for Employment to Certain H-4 Dependent Spouses

Comments

Wonder how long it's going to take for the application to be approved once it's submitted. Also, what restrictions are going to be present with working on the EAD? Is it unrestricted? STEM only? Will the same rules apply as if the EAD was received by the spouse after an approved I-485?

I'd really like to know this. I've been working under the STEM (plus extension) for over two years now -- my work permit expires in July. I believe that after "using up" my STEM, I wont be eligible for another STEM-associated EAD card, per my university's international students office. I wonder if that will affect my eligibility for this H1B-dependant work permit.
