if you apply for h1 extension, and use this to obtain a stamping at the US consulate in India, then you wouldn't need to use your AP to come back in. Also you would have your H1 to fall back on , if there arises some problem with your pending 485.Desi in US said:So when I leave the country my H1 app will be invalidated? Is there any benefit whatsoever to have the h1 application?

Maybe you should talk to your lawyer. He might be able to better advise you on whether you should apply for extension, and use this to get a stamping to come back, or use the AP.
