Hi
I have heard a lot about this forum but never checked and tried. Today being long weekend , could find some time, hence asking a question to all great GC Tracker Gurus a question :
Here is my situation :
I have applied my I485 some time first week of Dec'2001. I do not have the exact RD/ND but it is sometime first week of Dec'2001. I received EAD/AP etc. for myself and my wife sometime in the month of Jan'2002. We traveled to India and came back in Mar'2002.
At the time of entry in US , I showed my valid H1 and H4 along with AP. The officer gave us I-94 Card with remark "Paroled until Mar'2003".
At this time, I had valid H1 and EAD card both and also AP.
In the month of mar'2002 , I discussed this with my lawyer , he said I do not need to do anything.
Now, in the month of OCT , I applied for renewal of my EAD , and the new EAD card valid till jan'2004 has come. (for myself and my wife as well) .
My H1 and H4 are expiring end of Dec'2002.
Questions :
1. What is this "paroled until ......" means ?
2. When I entered in the country from India , am I shifted to EAD ? hence the H1 is no longer valid ?
3. Do I need to apply for H1 extension ?
4. What makes or trigger an individual to be in the county on EAD or H1 (in this situation) ?
5. Should I consider myself on EAD or H1 ?
6. Is this true that by just getting the EAD , one is considered to be on EAD (even though H1 is valid or not and if valid not required to be renewed)
