My wife has H-4 plus EAD. If my job details changes, will my wife's EAD will be affected?
As long as appropriate H-1 amendments are filed and you maintain status, the change in your job description has no effect on the H-4 EAD.
Using an existing approved I-140, can a H-1B be renewed any number of times, with new/multiple different employers, even without restarting any paperwork for GC with the new employer?
Yes, as long as the I-140 is not revoked.
On February 26, 2015, USCIS hosted a teleconference about new regulatory changes, effective May 26, 2015, that extended eligibility for employment authorization to certain H-4 dependent spouses of certain H-1B nonimmigrants wh
On April 1, 2016, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will begin accepting H-1B petitions subject to the fiscal year (FY) 2017 cap. U.S. businesses use the H-1B program to employ foreign workers in occupations that require highly specialized knowledge in fields such as science, engineering and computer programming.
The congressionally mandated cap on H-1B visas for FY 2017 is 65,000. The first 20,000 H-1B petitions filed for individuals with a U.S. master’s degree or higher are exempt from the 65,000 cap.

I was working on a EVVC model till Dec in the US, when I came to India for my stamping, I got a 221g which is now pending at the Chennai consulate. I am now trying to transfer my visa to the primary vendor to work for the same client. Is there any issue with this? Can I also respond to the 221g when I am doing the transfer?
I do not see any major issue with this as long as 221g was related to your employer, not you.
