What if my H-1B spouse's I-140 is denied?

If H-1B spouse's I-140 is denied:

• Your H4 EAD eligibility ends (if based on I-140 approval)
• If EAD already issued, it remains valid until expiration date
• Cannot renew EAD unless I-140 is approved
• If I-140 was basis for 7th year extension, H-1B spouse may need to leave

Options: H-1B spouse can refile I-140, or you can pursue your own work authorization (H-1B, F-1 to OPT, etc.).
