Yup, I definitely agree this with GwaachKeta. Apply it for TPS, Apply for EAD if you need one as well. However, H-1B and OPT card holders might get rejected for EAD depending upon their expiration of their EAD cards.
But remember, F-1, H-4 & F-2, do not use that EAD card if it violates your current status. Else, there is a BIG doubt you can come back to your original status once TPS ends unless you figure out the legal way to stay in US.
Why TPS for F-1, H-1, F-2, H-4?
Coz we are thinking for a worst scenario and want to tackle that as well.
F-1 failed many subjects or didn't took enough credit hours and his SEVIS is terminated. TPS protects him. Once F-1 is out of status, F-2 definitely is since F-2 is F-1 dependent. So, by any case, if you fail to maintain your F-1 status, this TPS will protect you and won't be deported.
H-1b loses his job, and within 10 days, if he didn't join another job, he is out of status. In that case, he is protected from TPS. So, for these worst scenarios, TPS is really really useful. There might be other cases as well. :)
Good luck to all.
