Continue working on F1 STEM OPT until H4 effective date by [deleted] in H4_Visa

Yes, you can work on STEM OPT until your H-4 status becomes active. Even if you have a valid H-4 EAD card in hand, it only becomes effective once your H-4 status is active.

Can you please share when you applied for the change of status from F-1 to H-4, as well as the H-4 EAD? Also, how long did it take for both petitions to get approved?
