H-4 and I-140

Question details

Currently I am on H-1B and my wife in H-4, my company had recently filed for Green Card. It has been 6 months since the petition has been filed. My wife has about 5 years of work experience back in India. She is interested to work here now. What are the possibilities of her getting a job here in US. As my GC is in progress, can she start looking for a job once my I-140 is approved?

ANSWER

Until the pending H-4 EAD regulations are promulgated, the only obvious option for her is to obtain her H-1 through employment.
