AOS filed, losing H1B status

[nogitsaro]

I am on H1B filed for AOS but do not have yet the receipt notice. If I lose my H1B status, how long will I stay legal in the US? Am I "saved" with the filing of AOS? thanks.

As long as AOS is pending.

Only for the time being. But at the time AOS is adjudicated, you have to be on a job with similar profile as mentioned on your I-140 petition. If you aren't, your AOS could be denied and you'd then be out of status.

I have heard its a good practice to extend your H1B as you have some thing to fall back on should 485 run into any trouble.
