I would have thought the answer would be no. But maybe you can help. It's not my family.
Yes, and H1B visa holder can go work outside the US. The H1B does not become invalid. Now, for the family in question, we would need a few more details.
-How far advanced are they in the GC process? Did they file for AOS?
-Are the dependents here on H-4? Or separate H-1? Or awaiting AOS?

Now I think about it...once we obtained parole my husband travelled overseas on business whilst our GCs were being processed.

I remember us all signing something to request parole in case we needed to travel. But it sounds as if Lazzza's friend wants to work full-time outside the US.

That's the impression I got.

Applying for EA is not a part of "the GC process". Applying for EA can be done in parallel with applying for adjustment of status, if one wishes to do so, but it is not necessary. Applying for EA can also be done under circumstances other than applying for adjustment of status.

Further, there is no "the" green card process. There is more than one way to obtain PR status, and a green card is simply an ID card that is issued to PR.

Mingling two different things as if they were inextricable causes confusion and leads to misunderstanding.

Since you specifically indicate that "It's not my family", I'd like to know how the answer will help to put your mind at ease? Why are you uneasy?
