EAP and AP expiration and renewal

[resident1374]

I have EAD and AP, which expires in September 2008. I have never used either the EAD or AP. I have been using my H1B extension (6-9 years). My question is do I need to renew the EAD and/or AP? Or should I go on with my H1B till 2011?

Also, can I continue on H1B with my full-time with my present employer and work part-time on EAD with a new employer (plan to teach part-time)

--------------------- if you have H1 visa stamp in your passport till 2011 and you dont use EAD then no need of AP. But many keep Valid EAD if they want to join new employer and new employer dont file H1 transfer. it all depends on Situation and many keep valid EAD and AP.Many who dont have valid Visa stamp and want to go for Stamping they keep valid AP as back up if any delay/problems in Stamping


Also, can I continue on H1B with my full-time with my present employer and work part-time on EAD with a new employer (plan to teach part-time)

-----------Once you use EAD part time or full time you are not on H1 status
