Hi - Could you please help me with some insight from your research/experience into applying for TPS EAD for H4 spouse? I read the USCIS TPS section thoroughly and understand that if I am maintaining my H1B status when TPS ends, my H4 spouse would revert back to H4. However, I am worried about H4 being a dependent status and that it strictly is a status that does not allow to work. I understand that if TPS EAD is approved, then it'll allow H4 spouse to work after receiving SSN of course. But I am thinking for like future i.e. any impact on future GC processing where when I add derivative spouse at the I-140 stage, do you think it would cause any issues? My GC processing is at it's very beginning i.e. Wage determination and my spouse does not really need to work as I am supporting quite ok. So my spouse would apply for TPS only if there is no tentative risk. I researched a bit but did not see any substantial answers and you seem like you applied for your spouse back in June-July 2015. So please could you help me understand if it is ok that my H4 spouse can apply? Would really appreciate your feedback. Thanks.
