H1B stamping while EAD/AP renewal pending

[hseema]

Situation:

 

I have a valid EAD/AP card (which expires in next 3 months)

I am not using EAD/AP card as I am maintaining H1B status

I am planning to apply for renewal of EAD/AP which I am assuming will take 3-4 months to renew.

 

Now I am planning to go travel and go for H1B stamping next month and plan to return based on H1B stamp. 

 

Question:

 

1. Do you think, that leaving the country and going for stamping would effect in any way the pending renewal application for EAD/AP?

 

2. In case, H1B visa stamping is delayed or refused for some reason, can I come back on my current unexpired EAD/AP?

 

3. Will coming back on current valid EAD/AP effect the renewal application for EAD/AP?

 

Please advise
