How long is H4 EAD valid?

H4 EAD validity period:

• Valid for same period as H-1B spouse's I-797 (usually 3 years)
• Can be renewed as long as eligibility continues
• Must renew before expiration to continue working
• If H-1B spouse gets extension, H4 EAD can be extended

Important: File renewal 6 months before expiration. EAD expires when H-1B spouse's status expires or if I-140 is withdrawn/denied.
