How can I switch from H-1B to H-4 with a pending EB-5 application?

Change of status applications do take a longer time to process these days. You may want to apply at the consulate if traveling.

You can apply to change status but they take so long. If you plan to travel abroad its best to apply for the H-4 at the consulate abroad.

There is zero issue to switching from H-1B to H-4 dependent status in terms of your husband&#39s recently filed EB-5 petition on Form I-526. You would have to file an application to change status within the U.S. from H-1B to H-4, or if you&#39re abroad, make an appointment online by completing Form DS-160 and applying for an H-4 visa based upon notice of approval of your husband&#39s H-1B status.

You can absolutely do that. There are no issues with changing your status to H-4/EAD from H-1B with a pending EB-5 application.

That is fine to do, as H-1B and H-4 are dual-intent statuses.

H visas are dual-intent, meaning you can have immigrant petitions pending and keep the H visa to use that for travel.

No issues here to change status to H-4/EAD. H visas are dual-intent visas, so you can maintain non-immigrant status while there is immigrant visa processing, etc.

H-1B/H-4 is a dual-intent visa and the filing of an I-526 has no impact on your COS to H-4. Your attorney will advise you of proper steps for getting H-4 stamped in your passport.

Yes, a person can change status from H-1B to H-4 even with a pending EB-5.
