1.Yes
2. Thats right. She can apply for EAD and wait till it reached USCIS and then travel. Need not be inside the country till it gets approved. She can keep travelling.

Thanks!.

Hi All,
Me and my spouse are Canadian Citizens.
Speed Test
I will be working for a US employer on H1B while my wife might get H4 EAD status. I will traveling between Canada and US side for my work..

Is it advisable to get H4 EAD visa for my wife? I am reading that spouse might get some issues when she try to cross border on H4 status (when I am not with her). We live close to border so she will cross border multiple times in a month. We are only getting her H4 EAD for ber easy job search on US side.

Any advise here?

This is a visa category when you are “living” with your spouse in the USA. Frequent commutes on h4 ead to work will raise questions.

Totally agree with statement here.

H4EAD is not for -

• Frequent Travels
• Travels when H1 Spouse is not in USA
• Travel on daily basis to work in USA from Canada
