Can one apply for I 140 on H4 EAD?

Whether you are H-1B or H-4 on an EAD makes no difference in your organization filing an I-140 preference petition for you. The I-140 petition mainly adjudicates whether the category under which the organization is requesting you under, e.g. EB-2 or EB-3, is appropriate to the type of position and requirements which are being requested in the PERM application; whether you are qualified for the position as stated by the requirements of the PERM labor certification; and whether the employer has the ability to pay you the prevailing wage which is indicated on the PERM application.
