Question details

My Wife and Kid have an appointment to get stamped on H4 as i have a valid H1 till Jan2023 and I am in USA. Now I just received a notification that my EAD card is approved for my GC. Will this impact in any way for my Wife and Kid's H4 Stamping?

ANSWER

Your H-1B remains valid as long as you do not use the EAD. Mere approval of an EAD has no impact.
