vinodgargg Posted October 16, 2020 Report Share Posted October 16, 2020 Hello Expert, I need an advice. it is very important. I am on h1B. I have I-140 approved in EB2. I am applying for EB2 to EB1 downgrade. my employer is agree for that , and we are filing 485 adjustment, AP and EAD as well. my question is related to travel while my 485/EAD and AP is in process. I understand I can not travel on AP- as it is will be in progress. 1. Can I travel on H1B and re-enter on H1B? Wil there be any problem with 485 application , EAD and AP? 2. Can I travel on H1B and re-enter on H4B? As I want to stay for long time in India. and by that time my H1B will be expired. but I can go for H4B stamping, as my wife is on H1B ( and she will be in USA). in this case, what will happen to my 485/EAD and AP? Can you please help? Quote Link to comment
adshah84 Posted October 23, 2020 Report Share Posted October 23, 2020 H1b and CG process is mutually exclusive. There won't be any effect on your I485. Quote Link to comment

Generally, if a person with a pending I-485 travels abroad without AP, the I-485 is considered abandoned. There is a special rule for people who have a valid H1. They can travel AND re-enter with the H1 (or AP) without abandoning the I-485. Entering in another status voids the I-485. And there is no H4B. The H4 is the dependent visa for H1B, H1B1, H2, H3.
