Has anyone switched from H1B to H4 if your spouse also has H1B, just so it does not limit you on what you can work on? You can take up a lot of side gigs that way and are not tied to the limitation of H1B. You can even monetize your hobbies and run a small business. Is this a good option? Do companies allow you to switch to H4 if you already have a H1B?
I did, working out fine.But you need EAD moving to H4 alone would not suffice.
Why would company not allow this? H1b processing would cost your department. H4+EAD you pay the application cost
It’s a good option if spouse’ situation is rock solid
