GC approved..H1 pending

[neha72]

What happens if a person's GC gets approved while his H1 extension is pending?

Does approval invalidate H1 extension automatically ?

Does it matter anymore ?

Once approved stop worrying about trivial things ..

... Officer working on your H1 might not know about GC approval so they can approve H1.

Does approval invalidate H1 extension automatically?
... It does. Also, when you go for passport stamping, USCIS is going to cancel any/all non-immigrant visa you may have in your passport.

Atleast you don't have to go for H1 stamping if your GC is stamped.

Hi GCG
My case is similar to urs. My I-485 ND is 27 Feb 2004 and I have filed for my H1 Ext on 14 Sep 2004. Keeping my fingers crossed.
