If your spouse is an H-1B nonimmigrant to the US and you are classified as an H-4 dependent spouse, you may be eligible to work. To work in the US, you must first apply for an employment authorization document (EAD). All you need to do is complete Form I-765 and submit it to US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) along with other documentation and the required fee. You cannot start a job in the US until you have your EAD.
