This is the thread that I was looking for. I am in H1-B which is valid till Sept, 2017. Things that I would like to know:

1. If you apply for TPS as-is, could you keep working for the same employer if you apply for EAD through TPS? What impact does getting an EAD through TPS will have on H1-B?

2. With H1-B, you are tied to the employer that you are working for. I assume, with EAD through TPS, you could practically work anywhere you want as you now have unrestricted work permit. Even if you leave the company to go find some other job in a different city, your status is protected and you'll have a valid work authorization. Is this correct or am I missing anything?

3. In the scenario that TPS ends for Nepal, how would one regain the H1-B status? H1-B by its very nature is tied to a specific employer. If I am working for a new employer when the TPS ends, could this new employer simply transfer my H1-B like it's done as usual?

4. How does TPS impact the application of GC? If my spouse is getting sponsored for GC by her company, how would my filing for TPS impact it? Would I be eligible to put my name in her application when it's time to send the application for GC?

Any responses will be appreciated. Let's have a thorough discussion to clarify any confusions. I think TPS would be much better as one would not have to worry about one's status for a while. But it's worthwhile to know all the Pros and Cons before initiating an application.

Thanks!
