EAD expiring before H1B approval

Hi,

I am currently working on my F1-OPT( EAD) which expires on July 18. My employers are going to file for my H-1B this month.

Do you think there is sufficient time or should I go for premium processing.

Also, what happens if my EAD expires and H1B has not been approved as yet.

Can I go for premium processing at that time like 1 month before the EAD expiration data.

Also, my green card application has been filed through my husband.
So, I should be receiving EAD from I-485 somewhere around July-August timeframe.

The green card thing says that I cannot leave the country once my application has gone through.

I am confused as to what to do if my EAD expires and my H1B approval has not come as yet.

Please someone advise .

Thanks a lot.

VP
 
You can convert to premium processing at any time while the regular H1B petition is pending. So wait until a month before F1 based EAD expires and then take a decision.
