Guys,

Need some inputs on my doubts.

After 140 Approved and 180 days after 485.

1) If I move on EAD to another company ( because new company want to hire me on EAD not on H1B) and i have completed only 4 years on H1B. Is it safe to move on EAD.

2) If anyproblem to my 485 application and if I want to come back to on H1B , How I can come back to on H1B, what are the possibilities. the current H1B going to expire on sep 2008. I can extend for 2 or 3 more years.

Greatly appricate your inputs on this.:confused:

Since you have time left on H-1B, you can file it later. Once the petition gets approved, your status is re-instated immediately for a Change of Status filing otherwise (new petition) get the visa stamped at a consulate.
 
Thanks a lot for your response. Please clarify the following

1)So its means moving to EAD to new employer for different job wont create any issues.

2)While I am on EAD with different employer and if any issues come up with my I-485 filing then can I switch back to my H1B Visa? If yes then do I have to go back to my previous employer who sponsored H1B Visa or I am free to go with any one. Based on approved I-140 will my current H1B be extended for extra years after expiry of 6 years or I have to get it extended before 6yrs in order to not to fall in H1B Visa cap (annual visa quota which is currently 65,000).

3)After getting the H1B visa extended here in US (after moving back from EAD) do I have to get it stamped from India or from somewhere else and enter US with newly stamped Visa in order to change my status to H1B from EAD.

4)While I am on EAD and my 6 years of H1B Visa expires & due to some reasons my I-485 got denied then can I get a new H1B Visa based on my approved I-140 without falling in annual Visa cap count? Or my approved I-140 is of no use after I-485 is denied. Please clarify the same.
