EAD and AP

[pg28]

Hello,

 

Below is my status

 

EB3 Category

- Applied for 485 in 2007

- Married after filled 485

- need to keep H1B active so that Wife has valid status (H4)

- Need to apply for H1B extension soon

 

1) Recently I came of know that I can apply for EAD and AP and also use AP to travel to India and do not need to go for H1 B Stamping, is this true and is this advisable, should i apply for EAD and AP  

 

2) What is the downside if I go to India and come back on AP I am aware that i need to have my h1b active and my Wife has to get H4 stamped before she comes back

 

3) If I have AP can i still go and get my H1B Stamp is there a negative to doing this

 

4)  If there are issues in stamping can i use my AP to travel back.
