Does using EAD void my H1B? Yes. Using EAD for employment will terminate your existing H-1B status. It doesn't matter whether you use the EAD to work for the same employer, another employer, yourself or only part-time.

What happens to H1B after EAD?

For some, there is no choice, as the employer will not extend the H1B status after the person has the EAD. ... All employers in the United States must accept EAD holders; employers are not required to sponsor H1Bs or other nonimmigrant categories.

Can I go back to H1B from EAD?

Answer: No. Once an EAD card is used for any employment, you may be deemed to have terminated your nonimmigrant status, and, therefore, you would no longer have H-1B status. If you use your EAD card for employment, you will need AP to travel.
