The EIB and the CIB are both military designations. When they have been earned, they can be worn. There is a limitation to the number of medals or ribbons that can be worn on a uniform.

Can you wear the Expert Infantryman badge if you have a combat infantryman badge?
You can only wear one at a time - they can't be worn together. With or without a CIB, the only way you'd be authorised to wear the EIB is if you've tested for and were awarded it. If you havn't done this, you can't wear the EIB, even if you have a CIB.
What award do you wear on your class a uniform CIB or EIB if you have both?
Technically, you have your own discretion to wear whichever one you choose. However, if you've been awarded a CIB, and choose instead to wear an EIB you've earned, you can expect your chain of command to not be particularly thrilled about it.
Can one wear the EIB and the CAB at the same time?
NO. Army Regulation 670-1 specifies that only one badge from group one can be worn at a time. Group one consists of the EIB, CIB and CAB. Combat badges take precedence over skill badges. A soldier having earned both the EIB and CIB must wear the CIB. A soldier having earned both the CIB and CAB may choose which one to wear.

Can non infantry mos wear expert infantry badge?
With few exceptions, no. If you earn the EIB (or CIB) as an infantryman, then you reclass to another MOS, you can still wear it. If you earn the EIB as a non-11 series MOS, then reclass to infantry, you should be eligible to wear it. If you test for it as a non-11 Series, and never reclass to infantry, you can't wear it, even if you complete the testing. However, if you do complete the testing, you should be able to use the points towards promotion.
