Hi
I just got news that EB2 for india retrogressed to year 2000.
The time i filed my labor is around March 2005 . I believe that would be my PD.
I got my 140 Approved and filed 485 . Now 485 Pending. Got EAD and AP.
I was expecting to be with my employer till I get my GC .
Now with GC so far away , I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO . SHOULD I CONTINUE BEING ON H1 AND GET IT EXTENDED.

2) IF I AM ON H1B AND NOT USE MY EAD , CAN I STILL REQUEST RENEWAL EVERY YEAR ? OR WILL THEY REFUSE THAT BASED ON THAT FACT THAT I AM ON H1 AND NOT USED EAD.
WHICH IS BETTER EAD OR H1.
IS IT TRUE THAT IF YOUR OUT OF H1B AND TRAVEL SOLELY ON EAD , YOUR ENTRY TO US MIGHT BE REJECTED BASED ON THAT FACT THAT 485 - INTENT TO IMMIGRATE IS IN PENDING STATE ?

3) I AM IN GOOD TERMS WITH MY GC FILING COMPANY AND AM WORKING FOR IT NOW. BUT I LEFT IT EARLIER AND REJOINED IT. ALSO MY ANNUAL SALARY HAS GONE DOWN. DOES THIS AFFECT MY GC APPROVAL
NOW IF I LEAVE IT , AND GO WILD ON EAD TO ANY COMPANY ...TAKE A FULL TIME JOB THAN A CONSULTING JOB......IS MY POSITION VULNERABLE ..CAN MY EMPLOYER DO ANYTHING TO STOP MY GC. 140 IS APPROVED.

PLEASE ADVISE ON ALL THIS. NEED IT BADLY .
MANY MANY MANY DHANYAVAAD THANKS

It is preferable to be on H1. You can keep renewing EAD and AP if if you want to travel.
2) IF I AM ON H1B AND NOT USE MY EAD , CAN I STILL REQUEST RENEWAL EVERY YEAR ?

Yes
OR WILL THEY REFUSE THAT BASED ON THAT FACT THAT I AM ON H1 AND NOT USED EAD.

No

H1

Yes, and your 485 will be considered abandoned and you might have to start all over. You should have AP in hand if you want to travel outside of USA.

Good luck!

To your following Question:
IS IT TRUE THAT IF YOUR OUT OF H1B AND TRAVEL SOLELY ON EAD , YOUR ENTRY TO US MIGHT BE REJECTED BASED ON THAT FACT THAT 485 - INTENT TO IMMIGRATE IS IN PENDING STATE ?

As "m_img" mentioned
If you do not wish to rely on H1B for international travel. Apply for AP and get it while you are within USA.
