I am an Indian woman, currently on H4 visa with EAD, both valid until Sep 2024,residing in Michigan with my daughter.
MY situation :
Unfortunately, my husband, the H1B holder passed away recently. His company lawyer, told me that I could stay and work in the US until the expiration of the H4/ EAD in Sep 2024. Meanwhile my husband's company and his company lawyer filed an application to USCIS requesting them to change the green card application into my name since my husband, had already received the I-140. I am currently working.
Today, his company and lawyer told me to seek help of some other lawyers since they were not too sure if H4/H4 EAD would be valid if the H1B holder was not alive.
I thought I had time until Sep 2024 to look into options where in I could stay and work further, but this puts me in a difficult situation. My daughter was born in USA and is a US citizen.
One of the lawyers I contacted gave me a slightly positive reply.
If anyone out there knows anything about this, please let me know.
1. I wanted to know if it is legal for me to stay and work until Sep 2024?**
2. If not, what are the options for me?
Awaiting your reply at the earliest.
