Hello All –
Would really appreciate your suggestions and feedback on this. I need to travel to the UK on May 3rd, and do not have a valid Visa, since my current H1-B expired in February 2007. I just received a 3-yr Extension, based on Approved I-140, but am not finding any appointments in Canada for the Visa Stamp. So, am considering traveling on my Advanced Parole, and wanted to understand –
H1-B Visa expiration
1. Will my status change from H1-B to EAD automatically if –
a. My wife uses her EAD?
b. Either my wife or I use the AP?
Traveling on AP
1. Are there any specific disadvantages of traveling on Advanced Parole?
2. Anything different about traveling internationally on AP vs. H1-B that I should be aware of?
I'm trying to determine if any of this will affect my H1-B Portability, in case I want to switch employers.
Thank you in advance!
