EAD to H1B

[rajsieb]

Filed 485 through company A and got the EAD.

Filed AC 21 and left company A and started working for company B.

Continued working on EAD for 2 years. Dependant left US with out parole. So got H1 from company B for 3 years and brought them back to US on dependant visa. Now my EAD & AP is up for renewal.

If I don't renew it will it affect my pending 485 application?

If I have it renew it should I just renew mine? Should I also renew my dependant's EAD and AP which is up for renewal as well? Any help related to this topic is appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi Raj,

I need your help badly. I have also almost same situation like. My H1 expired three years ago. I have my valid GC/EAD (EB3) which priority date is 2005. I am using my EAD and working as AOS. I want to file H1 again for safer side and want to use H1 only. Is it possible for me to get H1 and work on that? I am in US from last 10 years. I will appreciate your suggestion and advice. Can I get H1 this year if I file with premium process?

Thanks

My company was able to apply and get a H1 for me. So am assuming you can also get a H1.

@OP

You would get the AP/EAD for all of you to avoid similar situations.

@performance,

Yes. Obviously an employer needs to be willing to hire you in H1 status.
