AP and H4

[HelpWanted]

Frends,

My wife is on H4 and she neared the approval of EAD. We are planning on going to India 2 months. Would she need AP to travel since H4 gets cancelled once she gets EAD?

If Yes, please let me know if I can file AP by myself and what is the FORM NUMBER? And how long it normally takes.

Thanks,

Just mere approval of EAD will not cancel out your H1 or your wife’s H4 status. If she uses EAD then H4 gets cancelled. Even if she uses the EAD while entering this country as H4 as long as you are on H1 and she has visa stamped on her passport.

Give the details like when your H1 is expiring? And how many years left on your H1? So that we can discus this issue precisely.

Thanks Tammy.

I read on Murthy website that if one gets EAD then he/she needs to obtain Advance Parole. Please see this link below. Precisely it says that if one "begins working with an EAD"... I do not know, how would they know if he/she begins to work on EAD.

My H1 and as well as my wife's H4 is going to expire on July 2005. Only my wife has applied for EAD and hoping that its going to get approved this week.

We are planning on going to India in just 2 months.

I was thinking to goto local BCIS office and get the AP.
