8老師，您好
我妹妹的I140剛剛批準，現在是H1B身份
我妹夫現在用OPT工作，抽了兩年的H1B也沒抽中，明年還有最後一次機會，OPT明年11月過期
現在想讓我妹夫申請H4 EAD,
但是公司的律師說H4先批準，EAD後批準，中間的gap不能工作，長時間沒批的話就要辭退。
我想請問您
1）您建議我妹夫如何保持合法的工作許可，EAD還是等H1抽簽？
-He can compete the H-1 first, and if he can get the H-1 quota, then change F-1 to H-1. If no, he can change F-1 to H-4 and apply for the H-4 EAD at the same time (i.e. file I-539 and I-765 at the same time), and thus USCIS will approve his H-4 and then, approve the EAD immediately or very short time after the H-4 approval. He also can change F-1 to H-4 and apply for the H-4 EAD, then also can complete the H-1 quota later.
2）H4 EAD真的很快要被取消了麽？會在明年初出行政令麽？
-I really don't know what will happen.
3）拿H4 EAD不影響申請H1B抽簽吧？
-Not affect anything.
4）H4 批準了以後，OPT EAD是立即就失效 麽？
-Right.
5）H4批準和EAD批準中間大概要多長時間的gap? 有辦法加急麽？
-I don't know. See my suggestion above.
非常感謝您的指點！
