My hu*****and and I are both at H-1 status. My hu*****and's company sponsored him for green card. We are 485 pending now. And we both get EAD. If i don't want to work, do i need to transfer to H-4 to keep the legal status or I am at AOS and no matter if i work or not, I am legal to stay here?
- When you don't work in H-1, you lose H-1 and be in AOS. Changing to H-4, you are in H-4. Either way, you're legal to stay. The difference lays on the situation should your I-485 is denied.
