EAD For Minor (high school child)

[aveer]

Hi,

Is it possible to apply for EAD for my H4 dependent child, who is in high school and then apply for SSN?

If can't apply for EAD then is there a way for them to get work-permit from school for Summer jobs?

In some forums, people mentioned that they applied EAD for children as young as 1 year (not born in the US). But EAD FAQ on immihelp states that EAD is only for H4 spouse.

Thanks,
Aveer.

No, there is no EAD for H4 child of the H1b.

What about if they file I-485? Can the child get EAD with AOS process?
