You don't have to surrender your i-94 since it's less than 30 days trip. carry your original h1-b approval notice and it doesn't hurt to carry a latest pay slip.
When coming back you will go through immigration and customs at toronto airport.

if the person is under 14 then it is quite common as card will be directly mailed and no stamping is necessary. so it could be a case of derivative applicant who is under 14
you get a new i-94 number only when you leave and renter US. i-94 attached to h1b extension notice should have the same number that was present in your i-94 when you applied for h1 extension. so if you have not left the country after getting h1 extension the i-94 on h1-b notice is the latest...
Do you have previous i-94 (i-94 that was valid till the filing of extension of h1). as long as the expiration date on that is later than filing of your 485 application, you can just give that. if they ask for latest one just explain the situation in worst case you can apply for replacement i-94.
Once you use EAD to work, h1 status is no longer valid and underlying h4 is also not valid.
The one option would be you going back to h1 status and then apply for h4 for spouse.
To apply for an AP based on pending i1-485 application person should be present in US.

You don't have to say which country you are going to and how long you are going to stay. AP is not limited to one country or one date, you can get multiple entry AP, section 7 of i-131 specifically asks 1 trip or multiple trips. No where in the application on I-131 it asks which country are you...
15 months.
well here is a document i found which clearly states the fingerprints expire after 15 months (look at page 46 of report) . http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/useftp.cgi?IPaddress=162.140.64.21&filename=d01488.pdf&directory=/diskb/wais/data/gao
Pcee,
my understanding was that once you use EAD to work your H1-b becomes automatically invalidated and thats is the reason i said that. I Will put a big question mark against that answer
Okay here is some of the discussion in q/a format, please correct misstated or incorrect information provided
How long is AP Valid
Typically 1 year
How many times can I use a AP
If the AP says multiple entries you can use it for multiple trips
How long can I stay out of US...
Okay staying on the topic , pror to my 485 approval , I have applied for AP renewal 3 times (last one just weeks before my approval ). Although my law firm applied for the renewals, I clearly remeber what was filled in each of the column.
it's very simple form you fill

Well What Rajiv said is perfectly correct, he was talking about status, he never said any thing about invalidation of H1.
If you enter using AP your status is Parole status and not h1 status, the memo says if you work on the unexpired h1 petition it will not be considered as unauthorized...

When a person files for 485 one has to file biographic information form and it specifically asks for last 5 years of employment history and dates, what information did your friend provide
If your friend was in status from the time he lost job in feb 2001 and he rejoined in 2001, then there...
