Immigration Process

Hello All,

I have a few questions regarding the I-140 and H4 EAD:

A few months ago, I filed for H4 and EAD status for my spouse, which has now been approved. She also recently received approval for her I-140, but her six-year H1B visa has expired.

 1. H4 EAD and I-140 Status: Can she remain on H4 EAD status indefinitely with her approved I-140? Specifically, if she decides to switch back to H1B status—whether with her current employer or a new one in the future—can the existing I-140 be used to support an H1B petition?
 2. Impact of Travel on I-140: If she travels abroad and returns with an H4 visa stamp, will this impact her I-140 in any way?

Thank you in advance for your guidance.
