Immigration gurus,
My wife is on an H4 (I am on a H1B) and we recently got our EAD cards in the mail. I believe having an EAD makes my wife eligible for a SSN. What are the implications (/effects) of her applying for a SSN on her(and my) current and future status in the US ?
What would the implications be if she were to start working on the EAD ? Does it mean they are no longer eligible to be on the H status (H1 and H4 extension and the H visas) ? Are there any reasons you would recommend H1 and H4 visa holders not to use their EAD documents?
Does the same advice apply for Advance Parole documents as well?
Thanks a lot!
