Traveling with GC EAD/Advance Parole and I 485 pending
Hi,
I have GC EAD and Advance Parole approved few months ago and I-485 is still pending in EB3. PD is Oct 28, 2013. I am currently working on H1. Can I travel to India without getting H1 re-stamped and enter to US on GC EAD/AP?
Few more questions:
1) What impact would it have on my H1 if I enter on GC EAD/AP? Can I continue to work on H1 with current employer? Please note, my employer will not file for H1 extension per their policy. H1 expiring in Feb 2024.
2) Do I need to transfer my existing job with current employer from H1 to GC EAD, before I leave for India in order to re-enter in US on GC EAD/AP?
Please advise. Thanks!

My understanding is, if your H-1B visa stamp has expired and you enter back to US on AP, then your H-1B is no longer valid. If you want to maintain your H-1B then you will need to get it stamped and it doesn't matter even if you enter in with your AP but you can just re-verify your I-9 with your new H-1B stamp. Ensure you only travel after you get your AP. This being said, pls reconfirm with your attorney before traveling internationally.

consult a lawyer. you may mistakenly abandon your 485 and combo cards.
