[amban]

hi Team I have a question


I am working for Company 1 on their H1B visa ( 6 yrs expiring on April 2006).

Company 1 filed my labor in July 2001 and it was approved in july 2003.
Company 1 filed I-140 in Aug 2003 and it was approved in Sept 2004.
Company 1 filed I-485 in Sept 2003 and I am waiting for approval since 20 months.

My first EAD / AP / FP have already expired and
I have SECOND EAD / AP and 2FP done by company 1 .


I know I am portable under AC21 [I-140 Approved & I-485 pending for 20 months].


Question :1

After April 2006 Can Company 1 apply for E1B visa 7th Year ext
despite my labor , I-140 are approved or I will have to work on EAD only after 6
yrs expires.




Question 2:

Between now & April 2006 ; Can I work for Company 1 on h1b visa and work a part time
job using EAD for another employer .

or using EAD for second employer part time job also makes me loose my H1b visa status
with Company 1 primary job H1b visa holder & GC Processing company .


Question 3:

After April 2006 Can Company 1 apply for E1B visa 7th Year ext
despite my labor , I-140 are approved
and I have worked on dual status of H1b visa with Company 1 & used EAD for Part time job.


Pl reply me ASAP .

You can work on EAD as long as you have a valid card. You do not have to anything in particular to work in one status or another .
Question 2:

Between now & April 2006 ; Can I work for Company 1 on h1b visa and work a part time

or using EAD for second employer part time job also makes me loose my H1b visa status

You can be on either be on EAD or on H1. Once you start working with any co other than which sponsored your H1 , you will using your EAD . However you can be back on H1 by simply leaving the country and re-entering on H1



Question 3:

Yes they can apply for 7yr ext. Infact they can apply about 180 days ( I think )before expiry of your current H1.
