International travel on EAD/AP with no job
I recently lost job while on H1B. I have 30 more days to find a job and reapply for H1B. In case I don’t find a job within 30 days, I have EAD/AP as a backup and it’s been over 180 days since it I485 has been approved.
My question is : Can I travel outside the country before my H1B grace period expires (due to medical reasons) and return on EAD/AP without any job offer? Or is not recommended to travel until I have a job offer in hand before leaving country? It will be a while until my priority date becomes current(Feb 2014 -EB2(Ind)) so I’m confident on filing I-485J until my date becomes current.
Anyone have experience with traveling outside US and entering with EAD/AP with no job offer? That would be ideal scenario I would like to learn about.
